We specialize in the treatment and removal of noxious weeds from lake margins.
The Problem
Invasive weeds have a negative impact on the overall health of a lake or large pond. Tall growing weeds can obscure the view to residents in lake front properties. Their destructive and fast‐growing root systems can puncture lake liners leading to uncontrolled water loss and increased maintenance and repair costs. Weeds can also produce habitats suitable for insect and rodent breeding.
The Solution
Alpha Environmental Solutions LLC have experience with both herbicide
application and manual removal of noxious weeds from lake margins,
without impacting other aquatic life. The type of method used for
treatment and elimination depends on the type of nuisance weed species
present, the severity of the overgrowth, and the preferences of the client.
In the UAE, the most common noxious weeds are Arundo donax and
Phragmites sp. that can grow rapidly to a height of up to 4 meters and can
rapidly outgrow and eliminate other more favourable aquatic plants. In our
experience, these weeds cannot be eliminated through physical removal
alone, due to its rapid reproductive propagation by underground rhizomes.
Our removal methods are based on International Best Practices by the US
Environmental Protection Authority that involve the application of
selective herbicides followed by physical removal with specialized
machinery
