Duckweed Be Gone: Restoring Open Water at Our Client’s Pond

At Triangle Pond Management, we take pride in helping our clients restore and maintain the health and beauty of their ponds and lakes, including expert algae and aquatic weed management. The photos below showcase a recent success story in Durham, where our team effectively treated a severe duckweed infestation that had entirely covered the pond’s surface.

In the before image below, the pond was overwhelmed by a thick layer of duckweed, leaving no open water visible. Though small in size, duckweed can pose significant issues by blocking sunlight, reducing oxygen levels, and stressing fish and other aquatic life.

Our licensed aquatic technicians applied a targeted herbicide treatment, specially formulated to control duckweed while safeguarding the overall pond ecosystem. Just a short time later, the results were striking. As seen in the after photo, the water surface is now clear, allowing sunlight to penetrate below, and the pond’s natural beauty has been fully restored.

At Triangle Pond Management, we specialize in effective, environmentally responsible pond and lake treatments tailored to each client’s unique needs. Whether you’re dealing with duckweed, algae, or other aquatic weeds, our team has the experience and expertise to help you get your waterbody back to its best.
