👉🐤 Look At This Nest! 🐤👈
.
We were hired to restore this pond that surrounds an apartment complex. 🏰
.
It was built in the early 80s and has not been taken care of. 😢
.
It has been completely overgrown with reeds, lily pads and willows, all of which are native. 🧜‍♂️
.
The problem is because its a closed, man made pond, the natives are effectively suffocating each other due to the overgrowth. 🥀
.
We were brought in to thin and control the growth and during the process we found a nest! 🐣
.
So we re-positioned it to a safer spot on the pond so they birds could live on in peace. ✌️🕊️
.
After we are done with the initial thinning we wil be on-site to offer year round maintenance to make sure it does not get to this state again! 🤗🎉
.
If you or someone you know owns a pond then you need the Lake Defense Force! 🛡️🤺

.
The Lake Defense Force is nothing without it's people. 🤗

Meet Elijah - Lake Defense Force Supervisor, jack of all trades and just a great guy. 🛠️
.
He joined us early April as a dive tender and quickly worked his way to being one of our most trusted and valued Dive Supervisors. ⚡
.
You give him a work plan and 2 minutes later he has thought of all the right questions, potential problems and is discussing with his teammates solutions. 🎉
.
He seems to have a crystal ball when looking ahead and this skill has made him invaluable. 🐠
.
Here he is operating one of our suction dredges - sucking out sediment and algae from a pond. 🚜
.
Its important to have a great team and we are fortunate to have people like Elijah on ours. 💪

🤺🤗We Love Ponds! 🤗🤺
.
Why you might ask? 🐠
.
Because they bring a community together! 💃🕺👯
.
How you might ask? 🐟
.
Ponds give a community a focal point, a reason for being. 😀
.
A thing to build a path for residents to walk around, a thing to build a bridge over for the kids to look at the fish in the water, a thing for dogs to jump into so their owners can yell at them to not do that again, a thing to provide evaporative cooling during the summer months, A thing to freeze over in the winter, etc....🌅
.
Ponds are a lot of things! Ponds give reason, ponds give properties purpose and ponds enhance property value and resident lives. 🎊
.
However, if your pond hasn't been cared for it will only be two things - an eyesore and a liability. 😢
.
If you own a pond, live on a pond or know someone who does then they need the Lake Defense Force! 👯🎉🥂

🤮🛡️ Do You know What Kind Of Algae This Is

🤮🛡️ Do You know What Kind Of Algae This Is?🛡️🤗
.
.
.
Its Filamentous Algae. 🧜‍♂️
.
Filamentous algae is composed of colonies of microscopic plants that link together to form mesh like threads. 🗑️
.
Filamentous algae is an important part of a healthy eco-system as they produce oxygen, recycle nutrients in the water and can be food for fish. 🐠🐟
.
Normally this algae grows attached to hard surfaces like rocks, concrete, hard edges, etc... but can become dislodged, creating mats of this gross feeling plant. 🤮
.
It is fairly common for storm water retention ponds to have large colonies of filamentous algae as all the nutrients from the surface runoff of the surrounding area end up in the water. 🌧️
.
June-September it is recommended for HOAs and communities around retention ponds tolerate some amount of filamentous algae but if growth exceeds 20% of surface coverage than help should be sought and experts should be brought in. 🔬🧜‍♂️

🤺🛡️We Care About Our Clients' Client's 🛡️🤺
.
Our client's have clients' and its our job to make our clients' look great in front of their clients'! Make sense? 😆.
.
The Seattle Tennis Club's members do not need to see the milfoil and other vegetation being harvested. What they need is to experience is water surrounding them as they swim, not plants. 🏊‍♀️.
.
The Seattle Tennis Club's members do not need to know who we are. They just need to have a friction-less experience . 🚧

🕵️🔎 How Do You Search For Your Needs? 🔍

🕵️🔎 How Do You Search For Your Needs? 🔍🕵️‍♀️ .
Do you search for the service name? Do you search for the end goal? Do you search for the name of the problem? 🤓
.
This client's goal was to be able to access the middle of the lake without too much of a problem. 🛶.
.
This meant, abating lilypads, cutting back yellow flag iris, removing a rhizome and covering grass/marshlands with sand to create a green shoreline. 🏗️
.
What part of that was searched to be able to find us? 🧐 The client searched for lily pad removal and found us that way. 🐸
.
We try to advertise our services in a manner that truly makes finding us easy.
.
How do you search for the things you need? Do you use the goal, product or problem as the search term? 🕵🧐

👷‍♀️🏗️ We All Go Through Growing Pai

👷‍♀️🏗️ We All Go Through Growing Pains🏗️👷‍♂️
.
We are very fortunate to be growing as a business and even more thankful for the growth during Covid-19. 😅
.
We do not take this lightly but it has taught us lessons. 📘.
.
For example - We had inadvertently scheduled two of our teams at the same time causing delays when loading our trucks. 😣
.
We now know a new pain point and have developed a small strategy to cope. 🤩
.
On a more personal note - I love these moments. Its these moments I find myself thankful for what has been created and grateful for the ability to recognize and adapt to prevent future situations to come. 😍
.
What has been your most recent growing pain? What has that looked like? 🧐

🧜‍♂️🚧 Does Your Community Have a Pond

🧜‍♂️🚧 Does Your Community Have a Pond or Small Lake? 🚧🧜‍♂️
.
Is it supposed to add value instead of subtract? ❓
.
This pond used to be 90% lily pads 2 years ago and have massive algae spikes late in the summer every year. 😱
.
We worked within the properties budget and made slow and steady improvements each of the last 2 years. 👷‍♀️
.
Every time we are on-site the residents thank us for improving and making the focal point of the property beautiful again. 🙏
.
Property management has relied that resident complaints have also drastically dropped. 🥂
.
There is still work to be done and the fountain could use some realignment but it will all happen in due time and as budget allows. ⌛
.
After all changing massive, natural features in a responsible & sustainable way takes time. 🌲
.
If you or someone you know manages/owns/lives on a property with a lake like this then they need the Lake Defense Force! 🤺🛡️🧜‍♂️

🛡️😍 Its Our Favorite Time of the Year!! 😍🛡️
.
Its marina vegetation pruning season! 😆
.
We love working next to all these beautiful boats. 🚤
.
Marinas have a different set of problems then residential or commercial clients. .
.
Marinas have different kinds of vegetation that cause different types of problems. 😵
.
These problems all surround ease of access and the docking experience for the boat owner. .
.
Marinas are usually slips rented by the boat owner and as such it is our duty to make the docking experience as seamless as possible so the marina manager can focus her/his attention elsewhere. 🔎.
.
We will be in and around Marinas across Seattle the next couple of weeks, if you see our crew working please feel free to say hi! At a socially acceptable distance of course. 😉
.
If you or someone you k now docks at a marina then they need the Lake Defense Force! Give us a call today! 425.610.9149 🤺🛡️🧜‍♂️.

🤺🛡️We Care About Our Clients' Client's 🛡️🤺
.
Our client's have clients' and its our job to make our clients' look great in front of their clients'! Make sense? 😆.
.
The Seattle Tennis Club's members do not need to see the milfoil and other vegetation being harvested. What they need is to experience is water surrounding them as they swim, not plants. 🏊‍♀️.

The Seattle Tennis Club's members do not need to know who we are. They just need to have a friction-less experience . 🚧

👉🐤 Look At This Nest! 🐤👈
.
We were hired to restore this pond that surrounds an apartment complex. 🏰
.
It was built in the early 80s and has not been taken care of. 😢
.
It has been completely overgrown with reeds, lily pads and willows, all of which are native. 🧜‍♂️
.
The problem is because its a closed, man made pond, the natives are effectively suffocating each other due to the overgrowth. 🥀
.
We were brought in to thin and control the growth and during the process we found a nest! 🐣
.
So we re-positioned it to a safer spot on the pond so they birds could live on in peace. ✌️🕊️
.
After we are done with the initial thinning we wil be on-site to offer year round maintenance to make sure it does not get to this state again! 🤗🎉
.
If you or someone you know owns a pond then you need the Lake Defense Force! 🛡️🤺

.
This client installed a bottom barrier of ours and subsequently sold the property. 🤫
.
They said the preinstalled boring barrier was a HUGE reason the buyer choose their house versus another. 🤗🤑
.
The buyer has kids and wanted a weed free area for their kids to play?🤼‍♀️
.
Bottom barriers are value adding assets and can be a rain why your listing moves faster. 👍
.
If you're a home owner thinking of selling or a waterfront realtor then a bottom barrier is for YOU. 🤗🤑🤠

👨‍🏭👨‍🌾 Who's On YOUR Team?👩‍🍳👩‍💻
.
The Lake Defense Force is nothing without it's people. 🤗
.
Meet Elijah - Lake Defense Force Supervisor, jack of all trades and just a great guy. 🛠️
.
He joined us early April as a dive tender and quickly worked his way to being one of our most trusted and valued Dive Supervisors. ⚡
.
You give him a work plan and 2 minutes later he has thought of all the right questions, potential problems and is discussing with his teammates solutions. 🎉
.
He seems to have a crystal ball when looking ahead and this skill has made him invaluable. 🐠
.
Here he is operating one of our suction dredges - sucking out sediment and algae from a pond. 🚜
.
Its important to have a great team and we are fortunate to have people like Elijah on ours. 💪
.
Who makes up YOUR Team? Comment why they are valuable or who is missing. What kind of teammate are YOU looking for? 👨‍🏭🧜‍♂️🕵

If you are interested in learning more about the evolution of the Lake Defense Force there are two more episodes from the previous two years on his channel. 🤗

I am interested to hear your story! Please drop a comment below letting me know how you got started! 🐠👯🎉

🤺🤗We Love Ponds! 🤗🤺 . Why you might as

🤺🤗We Love Ponds! 🤗🤺
.
Why you might ask? 🐠
.
Because they bring a community together! 💃🕺👯
.
How you might ask? 🐟
.
Ponds give a community a focal point, a reason for being. 😀
.
A thing to build a path for residents to walk around, a thing to build a bridge over for the kids to look at the fish in the water, a thing for dogs to jump into so their owners can yell at them to not do that again, a thing to provide evaporative cooling during the summer months, A thing to freeze over in the winter, etc....🌅
.
Ponds are a lot of things! Ponds give reason, ponds give properties purpose and ponds enhance property value and resident lives. 🎊
.
However, if your pond hasn't been cared for it will only be two things - an eyesore and a liability. 😢
.
If you own a pond, live on a pond or know someone who does then they need the Lake Defense Force! 👯🎉🥂

🤮🛡️ Do You know What Kind Of Algae This Is

🤮🛡️ Do You know What Kind Of Algae This Is?🛡️🤗
.
.
.
Its Filamentous Algae. 🧜‍♂️
.
Filamentous algae is composed of colonies of microscopic plants that link together to form mesh like threads. 🗑️
.
Filamentous algae is an important part of a healthy eco-system as they produce oxygen, recycle nutrients in the water and can be food for fish. 🐠🐟
.
Normally this algae grows attached to hard surfaces like rocks, concrete, hard edges, etc... but can become dislodged, creating mats of this gross feeling plant. 🤮
.
It is fairly common for storm water retention ponds to have large colonies of filamentous algae as all the nutrients from the surface runoff of the surrounding area end up in the water. 🌧️
.
June-September it is recommended for HOAs and communities around retention ponds tolerate some amount of filamentous algae but if growth exceeds 20% of surface coverage than help should be sought and experts should be brought in. 🔬🧜‍♂️
.
If this looks like you give us a call today! 425.610.9149. 🤺🛡️

🤨❓ How do you show your clients that you CARE

🤨❓ How do you show your clients that you CARE❓🤗
.
Do you throw in unadvertised, extras?🔎
.
Do you leave behind proof of work completion? ✅
.
Do you Gary V it and research your client's interest on twitter? 🐤
.
We do a mixture of the above but are looking for more ways to show we care. We are looking for inspiration from you! 💡
.
What do you do you in your industry? What does that look like?🧐👨‍🍳👨‍🏭💂‍♀️
