Aquatic Weed Removal & Shoreline Services for Lake Minnetonka
Scuba Weed Control offers expert water restoration, lake weed removal, and waterfront cleanup in Minnesota. Eco-friendly, diver-assisted solutions for healthier lakes.
Lake Minnetonka is one of Minnesota’s most beloved destinations, known for its beautiful scenery, boating opportunities, and lakeside homes. But even the most pristine lakes are not immune to the effects of aquatic weed overgrowth, shoreline erosion, and debris accumulation. If you’re a homeowner or property manager on Lake Minnetonka, keeping your shoreline clean, safe, and accessible is essential—not just for aesthetics, but for long-term value and environmental health.
At Scuba Weed Control, we offer a full range of services specifically designed to meet the unique challenges of Lake Minnetonka waterfront properties. From submerged lake weed removal to pond cleaning and maintenance, our experienced, diver-led team uses eco-friendly methods to restore and protect your lakeshore.
Submerged Lake Weed Removal
Invasive aquatic plants such as Eurasian watermilfoil, curly-leaf pondweed, and coontail can quickly take over nearshore waters, making it difficult to swim, boat, or fish. Left unchecked, these weeds not only diminish your property’s appearance but can also disrupt the lake’s ecosystem.
Our certified divers perform submerged lake weed removal by hand-pulling weeds from the root. This non-invasive, chemical-free method is highly effective in preventing regrowth and ensuring that only the target species are removed. This approach minimizes environmental disruption and keeps Lake Minnetonka’s waters clear and functional.

Lily Pad Removal & Lakeshore Restoration
While lily pads are a native aquatic plant, their overgrowth can become problematic, especially in shallow, slow-moving areas of the lake. Dense patches can block boat access, reduce open water for swimming, and create breeding grounds for mosquitoes.
Our team provides lily pad removal and lakeshore restoration services that thin out overgrowth and restore balance to your lakefront. By selectively removing lily pads and other aquatic plants, we help restore visual clarity and functionality to your shoreline.
Combined with native plant restoration and erosion control, this service can drastically improve the health and usability of your waterfront.
Cattail Removal & Aquatic Plant Management
Cattails are another common lakeside plant that, while beneficial in moderation, can quickly dominate shorelines and restrict access to open water. At Scuba Weed Control, we offer careful cattail removal and aquatic plant management, ensuring that these plants do not outcompete other beneficial species or interfere with property usage.
We tailor our approach based on the density and location of the cattails to ensure maximum efficiency with minimal environmental impact.
Pond Cleaning and Maintenance
Whether it’s a private residential pond or a part of your Lake Minnetonka landscaping, routine pond cleaning and maintenance are essential to preserve water quality and prevent buildup of organic debris. We remove dead vegetation, accumulated muck, and floating debris that can lead to unpleasant odors, algae blooms, and poor aesthetics.
Our services keep your pond healthy, clear, and visually pleasing year-round—helping you get more enjoyment out of every part of your property.
Shoreline and Beach Restoration
Wind, waves, and human activity all take a toll on your lakefront over time. Shoreline erosion, trash, and organic matter buildup can turn a once-pristine waterfront into an eyesore. That’s where our shoreline and beach restoration services come in.
We remove invasive plants, restore natural contours, and clean up built-up muck and debris to bring your shoreline back to life. Whether you’re preparing your property for summer fun or seeking a long-term solution to erosion, Scuba Weed Control has the tools and expertise to help.

Hazardous Material Removal
Over time, lakes accumulate more than just weeds. Broken glass, sharp metal, sunken debris, and other hazardous materials can collect along the lakebed—posing safety risks to swimmers and pets.
Our team is trained in hazardous material removal, diving into affected areas to remove unsafe objects and debris. This service is particularly important for homeowners with children, frequent lake traffic, or rental properties where liability is a concern.
