Lake Management Services

Gateway Lake Management LLC offers several lake management service options and will consult with you to determine if one of these is appropriate for your lake or pond:

  • One time treatment — a short-term approach to reducing pond weeds or algae; vegetation will likely regrow later in the season
  • Monthly treatment — includes an on-site visit to your lake or pond once per month with diagnosis and treatment as needed
  • Season long treatment plan — includes an on-site visit to your lake or pond two times per month during the summer with diagnosis and treatment as needed

Depending on your situation, Gateway Lake Management LLC may be able to offer other services to address your lake and pond needs.

Customer Service is My Top Priority

When you work with Gateway Lake Management LLC, you can expect fast response times, top-tier communication and full transparency about the situation with your lake or pond.

About the Biologist

A lifelong resident of Missouri, Joe is an avid outdoor enthusiast. Over the years, he has established and maintained wildlife habitats and ponds at numerous family farm properties around the state. 

Joe graduated from Missouri State University with a degree in Wildlife Conservation & Management. He worked as a Fisheries Tech and Creel Clerk at Busch Wildlife Conservation Area with the Missouri Department of Conservation where he gained his first professional experience in lake, pond, fisheries and vegetation management.
