Cleared Out Years of Cattail Growth

Rob H. did great work on our project. We needed a large amount of cattails removed from a detention pond, and Rob did a great job clearing everything out. Fast, professional, and performed quality work.

Got the Algae Under Control Just in Time

Good service, just in time as the algae was growing fast. They treated the pond and were very efficient.

Property Owner, Sherman, IL

Weeds Are Kept Under Control

The entire team at SOLitude is great to work with. They work around the schedule at our club, and their work is done efficiently. Keeping the weeds under control is critical to our members, as their dogs perform much better when they don’t have to fight through the weeds. I highly recommend SOLitude for anyone looking to keep their ponds clean.

Always Responsive When I Call

They have done a very good job of taking care of the algae, and they have always been responsive when I have called.

My Pond Is Clear and I Couldn’t Be Happier

My 1-acre pond has been covered with cyanobacteria from late May to late October for the past 6 years. I added a fountain and aerators and still saw no clearing. This year, I had SOLitude treat the pond, and so far the pond is clear. I am very pleased.

Definitely Using SOLitude Again!

This year’s spraying was the most effective we have ever had. We will definitely use your company again next year!

SOLitude Made A Huge Difference

Thank you for jumping on our request to have the weeds looked at and treated. It has made a huge difference in the short couple of weeks since the crew was out spraying.  All of us on the SW corner of the lake greatly appreciate the approval and quick execution of the treatment!

Compliments on Our Shoreline

My shoreline was in need of restoration, and SOLitude exceeded my expectations. They provided a detailed restoration plan, completed the work efficiently, and left the area clean when the project was finished. The shoreline looks amazing, and even boaters passing by have commented on how great it looks. The crew was friendly, professional, and a pleasure to work with. I highly recommend SOLitude for shoreline restoration and lake management services.

Our Pond Went From Desolate to Beautiful

After spending many years looking into different solutions for our pond erosion issues, we found SOLitude Lake Management. After a thorough inspection of our pond, they recommended their SOX Erosion Solution. We could not be happier with the results! Our pond went from looking desolate to looking absolutely beautiful!

We Love Our Ponds Again

SOLitude took over maintenance of our three ponds, and we saw immediate, beautiful results. The team is knowledgeable, professional, and easy to work with. They took the time to answer our questions and accurately explained how the ponds would respond to treatment. We love our ponds and highly recommend SOLitude.

Our Fountain Is Back to Being Something Residents Enjoy

Our subdivision’s fountain had been neglected for some time, and SOLitude helped us get it back on track. Their team was professional, helpful, and easy to work with throughout the process. The fountain is something our residents truly enjoy, and we appreciate the care and maintenance that keep it looking its best. Thank you, SOLitude!

They Took Great Care of My Fountain

Talked to the SOLitude specialist as he was removing my fountain for winter storage. He was very courteous and was careful with my fountain.

Fully Met My Needs – Outstanding!

Finding a company in St Louis to service central Illinois residents is quite difficult, but SOLitude fully met my needs to repair my fountain. The service crew was very friendly, efficient, and professional. I would definitely use SOLitude again, and I have already referred a neighbor to them. OUTSTANDING!
