History

Aquatic Services is a third-generation family-owned company founded in 1964. What began as a lake cleanup company has become a diversified business. We are a New Jersey State Certified Laboratory and are involved in all facets of lake management and garden pond care/construction. The beginnings of Aquatic Services are linked to a serious drought which existed in New Jersey during the early 1960s. Due to an emergency measure, all lakes in the state were converted to reservoir usage. It was necessary to eradicate weeds to increase water quality and harvesting was the primary method utilized to accomplish this goal. In the beginning of the 1970s, chemical treatment of weeds became another popular method of application. We are proud to be the oldest lake service applicator in New Jersey.

Application methodology has changed over the years. During the 1970s, Aquatic Services used boats, airboats and helicopters to achieve cleanup goals. Lake service applications, along with safety protocol and practices, have been consistently refined.

Finally, it was a natural fit when Aquatic Services branched into garden pond maintenance and construction during the 1990s. Throughout our 55 years of service, customer satisfaction and safety remain Aquatic Service’s number one goals.
