To provide residential, commercial, and municipal clients with effective and environmentally sound solutions for controlling unwanted and nuisance aquatic vegetation and maintain riparian habitats.
By learning and understanding the individual use characteristics of each site, we can make informed and thoughtful decisions in regard to how and why an area of vegetation should be controlled or manipulated, for the greater good of the community and local wildlife.
Lake management, Pond management, Stormwater Basin management, Wetland management, Shoreline management, Retention Pond management, Farm Pond management, whether it's privately owned, part of an HOA/ subdivision, or municipal park. All of these aquatic sites have one big thing in common - the NEED for ongoing routine vegetation maintenance.
There are many reasons to maintain or control aquatic vegetation, and this could be in the form of vegetation removal or the opposite - vegetation planting.
Reasons to control, or even eliminate, certain species or stands of aquatic vegetation include:
Habitat Reclamation
Eradication of Invasive, Exotic Plants
Human Use Needs such as Swimming, Fishing, and Boating
Aesthetics
Balancing the Population of Species of a Plant Community within a Designed Wetland
Reasons to promote and/or plant new stands of aquatic vegetation include:
Habitat Enhancement for Specific Wildlife Species
Shoreline Erosion Control
Fish Attractors for Fishing
Aesthetics
Increasing Biodiversity within a Specific Area
At Typha Control, we specialize in managing aquatic vegetation for the use goals of a particular site.
For instance, a typical service we offer is cattail control within semi-wet stormwater retention basins, which commonly lie behind commercial retail centers. Lack of cattail control on these properties can result in the retention basin underperforming during a heavy rain event, leading to localized flooding of surrounding parking lots and residential basements, and product damage.
We are streamlined in our approach, which means we can often perform our services within a standard operating budget. We pride ourselves on being efficient and effective, and sticking to what we are good at. For this reason Typha Control is a great partner of the private landowner, as well as a reliable subcontractor for engineering firms and municipalities.
We look forward to working with you!
