Aquatic services that manage for HEALTH, BEAUTY AND USE

We view water bodies with a long-term perspective and look to sustainable solutions and practices to create healthier bodies of water while meeting the aesthetic and recreational needs of the public. 

Maintain a Natural Balance

Aquatic plants, even algae and cattails can play an important role in water ecosystems. It's the way nature made it. But it's easy for these plants to grow out of control, causing problems for water quality, fish and other wildlife.  Clarke views your water asset the way nature would . . . and works with you to bring it back into balance.

Ecologically-Focused Strategies

First we look at water bodies and think about what needs to stay before we think about taking away. This includes not only desirable plants, but endangered species as well. If algae or vegetation control are in order, we work to pair the product and application method that will provide the least environmental load. Operationally, everything we do is NPDES compliant. In most cases, we do the reporting for our customers.
