Jacksonville Lake Management Services

We offer a full suite of lake management services designed to keep your water systems healthy, compliant, and visually appealing:

Invasive Species & Nuisance Vegetation Management

We monitor and manage aquatic plants that threaten biodiversity and lake usability. Our team identifies and removes unwanted species using targeted, environmentally responsible methods.

Algae overgrowth — especially in summer months — can damage ecosystems and create safety concerns. We use a combination of treatment and prevention to manage HABs and protect water quality.

We help restore nutrient balance by reducing phosphorus and nitrogen levels that can lead to algae and aquatic weed proliferation.

Over time, sediment can reduce lake depth and capacity. We use sonar mapping, sediment analysis, and removal techniques to restore lake volume and functionality.

Our aeration systems help maintain healthy dissolved oxygen levels, which are critical to aquatic life and water clarity.

We offer baseline and ongoing monitoring programs that track pH, turbidity, nutrient levels, and more — providing actionable insights for better lake management.

We work with HOAs, lake committees, and community boards to support resident education, engagement, and long-term stewardship.

Local Insight. Regulatory Expertise.

From Downtown Jacksonville to Ponte Vedra, and from Orange Park to Fernandina Beach, TIGRIS understands the unique aquatic challenges of Northeast Florida. Urban runoff, invasive vegetation, sediment buildup, and nutrient overload are just a few of the local environmental pressures threatening lakes today. That’s why we take a holistic approach — one that accounts for the entire watershed, not just the water itself.
