Cattail Removal & Other Emergent Aquatic Plant Removal

Cattails can grow and spread quickly in lakes and ponds and may create problems for lakeshore owners when left unmanaged. If left unchecked, cattails can create an imbalance in the water body and choke out entire ponds. In other cases, Cattails can take over shoreline to the point where waterfront access is completely cut off.

 

If you are dealing with excess cattails our team can help you restore your pond or reclaim lakeshore access by removing the unwanted vegetation. 

 

Our method of cattail removal includes the use of high-powered equipment specifically designed to combat thick aquatic vegetation. These tools are used to cut the cattails below the waterline, at the root to provide a more permanent solution. In some cases, our team will also use manual removal efforts to dig, pull, and dispose of cattail roots and bogs.

In addition to removing Cattails, our team also has experience removing Bulrushes, Purple Loosestrife, Flowering Rush, Lily Pads, and more. For the majority of projects dealing with the removal of Emergent Lake Vegetation, an Aquatic Plant Management permit from the Minnesota DNR is required. If you have not been issued an APM permit from the MN DNR, we can help coordinate the process to acquire one.
