About The Company
Waterfront Restoration specializes in the removal of lake weeds, zebra mussels, and other nuisances that detract from the appearance and recreational use of lakefronts. Our unique by-the-root lake weed removal technique gives a pristine lakeshore, from day one and on every day you spend by the lake. Certified SCUBA technicians sweep out both stalks and root systems of all nuisance weed species, as well as zebra mussels, cuttings from boats and dangerous foreign objects that might drift in. We also help to prevent the spread of AIS by providing outsourced watercraft inspections services for Counties, Cities, and Lake Associations. In the course of over 20 years, Waterfront Restoration has become the service provider of choice for lakeshore homeowners, lake associations, public beaches, and local government units throughout Minnesota.
