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

Does Aquatic Ecosystem Consultants serve all of Nebraska?

Yes. We provide aquatic management services throughout Nebraska, including the Omaha and Lincoln metro areas, the Sandhills region, the Platte River corridor, and rural agricultural areas across the state. Whether you have a backyard pond in Elkhorn or a large lake in the Panhandle, we can help.

What types of waterbodies do you help to manage?

We work with a wide range of aquatic environments, including residential ponds, HOA and community lakes, farm and ranch ponds, stormwater retention basins, golf course water features, and natural wetlands. If it holds water, we have experience managing it.

A lot of algae and weeds grow in my pond every summer. Can you fix that?

Yes. Algae and aquatic weed problems are extremely common in Nebraska ponds. Our services include water quality assessments, EPA-registered algaecide and aquatic herbicide treatments, and long-term nutrient management plans that address the root causes rather than just treating symptoms. We can also recommend aeration or biological solutions to reduce recurrence in the years to come.

Does my Nebraska pond need aeration?

Ideally, yes. Nebraska ponds are particularly vulnerable to oxygen depletion due to warm summer temperatures and the nutrient-rich soils common across the region; an aeration system can dramatically improve water quality and fish health year-round.

Can you stock or manage fish in my pond?

Yes! We can assess your current fish population, recommend stocking plans for species well-suited to Nebraska waters (like largemouth bass, bluegill, channel catfish, and walleye), and develop long-term management programs to support a healthy fish. We also address issues like overcrowding, stunted fish, and invasive species.

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

The first step is a consultation where we learn about your water body, your goals, and any problems you’re currently dealing with. From there, we develop a custom management plan with clear recommendations and pricing. Contact us to schedule your site visit in Nebraska or phone consultation.
