Services

AquaTerra Solutions has the experience and capability to assist lake property owners in managing nuisance vegetation growing in and around waterfront areas. Our services help minimize issues such as excessive vegetation, swimmer’s itch, and limited lake access—ensuring a more enjoyable shoreline experience.

Our treatment program is designed to include up to two applications, beginning in June, with a second treatment approximately 30 days later. All treatments are contingent upon approval of the required DNR Aquatic Plant Management (APM) permit.

To simplify the process, AquaTerra Solutions will handle the DNR APM permit application on your behalf. With extensive experience navigating the permitting process, we help eliminate the stress for property owners.

We strongly recommend signing up for services and submitting permit applications as early as possible during the winter months. The DNR experiences high volumes in early spring, and applications submitted after April 1st may delay approval and impact optimal treatment timing in June.

AquaTerra Solutions also provides detailed treatment records in compliance with Minnesota Department of Agriculture requirements and completes all necessary end-of-year DNR reporting.
