Monitoring water quality helps determine the health of aquatic ecosystems. Imbalances in water quality can make it inhabitable for life or cause algal blooms. Understanding these parameters and their interactions can help maintain good water quality. Lake & Pond Consulting can help you monitor and maintain your trophy fishery, irrigation pond, or recreation pond.
Aeration is adding oxygen to a pond or lake. It helps improve water quality, aids in breaking down organic materials and nutrients, limits high water temperatures, prevents fish kills, and improves overall health of pond/lake. Each pond is unique and requires a different aeration system.
Owning a pond can provide great rewards, like catching quality fish, but it requires proper planning and management. We can help pond owners put the right tools in place to sustain a quality fishery. Lake & Pond Consulting offers: Basic Fish Survey, Structure Survey, Population Estimates, Habitat Enhancement, Species Identification, and Spawning Areas to help develop a quality fishery in your pond or lake.

Curtis Cress has been one of the most influential and trustworthy people I have had the pleaser of working with. Curtis has provided me with the knowledge and understanding of lakes and ponds as well as knowledge of oxygen, organics, nutrients, fish, etc. that affect lake biology. I can rely on him for any questions or concerns that I may have with lakes and projects.
I have had the opportunity to work with Curt Cress for over 20 years for our two Lakes and eight golf course ponds. Curt’s aquatic knowledge of weed control, water quality and our fisheries has been very beneficiary to the evolution of our lakes. The service and problem solving was always over and above with Curt, always professional.
“Curt Cress provided the maintenance service for Calabasas Lake for many years. He was always extremely responsive, knowledgeable, and professional, and very willing to provide assistance when information was needed. Curt will certainly be a benefit to anyone seeking support with lake maintenance.”
We were having water appearance and quality issues, plant management challenges (cattails, bullrush, algae) and wanted to create a healthy fishery. Curt worked with our Board and our service providers to build a solid pond/lake management strategy for the long term.
Together, we’ll develop a management program specific to your pond or lake goals. Annual visit? Twice a month? We’ll make that happen. Our goal is 100% customer satisfaction.
