Our History

Our Company
We are a full service lake and pond management company specializing in pond aeration, pond fountains, algae and weed control, and environmentally friendly products. We pride ourselves in customer service and realize the unique nature of each water body when developing and executing a management plan. You’ll quickly find that we are not just applicators but true lake and pond managers offering a wide range of management techniques to customers throughout Wisconsin and Northern Illinois.
Experienced Staff
Our resident biologists are licensed, certified, and fully insured herbicide applicators with over 70 years of combined management experience. They hold degrees in watershed management, fisheries, natural resource management, water resource management, biology, and environmental conservation. Our biologists have authored numerous lake assessments, lake plans, and technical articles. They are also involved with organizations such as: Midwest Aquatic Plant Management Society (MAPMS), Aquatic Ecosystem Restoration Foundation (AERF), Responsible Industry for a Sound Environment (RISE), and the Lake Geneva Jaycees.
New products, techniques, and technological advancements make aquatic management an ever-changing industry. LPS biologists regularly attend industry specific conferences and workshops to stay in-tune with these current management technologies and techniques.
