We couldn't be more pleased with the work that Aquatic Environment Consultants have done in eradicating resistant vegetation from our farm pond. The pond has never been more beautiful! Tim does an outstanding job of deciding what needs to be done, explaining the options, and doing timely follow-up. He obviously loves the out-of-doors and respects the environment. We were so fortunate to find these consultants. The photos below are before treatment when the pond was totally covered by vegetation and after treatment.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is pond or lake management?

Lake or pond management is the ongoing process of maintaining the health, aesthetics, and ecological balance of a pond or lake. It can include algae and aquatic weed control, water quality monitoring, aeration, fish habitat management, debris removal, erosion control, and other treatments that keep the waterbody healthy, functional, and enjoyable year-round.

Does Aquatic Ecosystem Consultants serve the entire state of Kansas?

Yes. We provide aquatic management services throughout Kansas, including the Wichita and Kansas City metro areas, the Flint Hills, the Arkansas River basin, and agricultural communities across the High Plains and eastern Kansas. Whether you have a large pond on a family farm in Dodge City or a community lake in Overland Park, our experts are happy to help.

What types of waterbodies do you help to manage and maintain?

Quite a few. We manage residential ponds, HOA and community lakes, farm and ranch ponds, stormwater retention basins, golf course water features, livestock watering ponds, and natural wetlands in Kansas. If there’s water on your property, there’s a good chance we’ve worked with something similar.

My pond gets a lot of algae and weeds every summer. Can your lake and pond management services fix that?

Yes. We start with a water quality assessment, then develop a treatment plan using EPA-registered algaecides and aquatic herbicides. More importantly, we work to identify and address the underlying nutrient issues so the problem doesn’t just come back next season.

Do you stock or manage fish as a part of your lake management services?

Yes, and it’s one of the add-on services clients ask about most. We assess your existing fish population and design a stocking plan around species that thrive in Kansas water conditions, including largemouth bass, bluegill, channel catfish, crappie, and flathead catfish. We also put together long-term management programs to keep your fishery balanced and address problems like overcrowding, stunted fish, and invasive species before they get out of hand.

Is it safe to apply your aquatic treatments near my livestock or well?

Safety is something we take seriously on every job. We use only EPA-registered products, applied by licensed aquatic applicators following Kansas Department of Agriculture guidelines. Before treatment, we evaluate the full site, including proximity to wells, irrigation intakes, livestock watering areas, and any downstream properties. Nothing gets applied until we’re confident it’s the right product in the right place.

How do I get started with Aquatic Ecosystem Consultants in Kansas?

Just reach out! We’ll start with a conversation about your water body, what you’re hoping to achieve, and any issues you’re currently dealing with. From there, we put together a customized management plan with straightforward recommendations and transparent pricing.
