From building new ponds and dredging old ones to aquatic weed removal, herbicide treatment, and fountain installation — Panhandle Pond and Lake Services handles it all. Serving Bay County and all surrounding Florida Panhandle counties.
We are the only company within 100 miles offering this full range of professional aquatic management services. Whatever your waterway needs, we have the expertise and equipment to handle it.
We build new farm ponds, cattle ponds, fishing ponds, and large recreational ponds from the ground up — site design, permitting, excavation, shaping, clay lining, spillways and drain pipes, docks and beach areas, and fish stocking. One crew, our own equipment: excavators, a Long Reach Excavator, dozers, and dump trucks.
Already have a pond that's filling in? Year after year, sediment and organic muck steal depth, water quality, and fish habitat. We dredge it back to full depth with the same fleet — and we handle all Florida DEP and Army Corps permitting.
Professional removal of invasive and nuisance aquatic plants using our commercial Weedoo TC-12 harvester and targeted herbicide treatments.
Licensed aquatic herbicide application targeting invasive species at the root level for long-lasting results, in full compliance with Florida DEP regulations.
Complete waterway cleanup including organic muck removal, fallen debris, storm damage response, and general waterway restoration services.
Professional design and installation of decorative fountains and aeration systems that improve water quality, reduce algae, and enhance your property's beauty.
Ongoing, compliance-focused care for HOA and commercial stormwater ponds — vegetation control, muck and sediment removal, structure checks, and the documentation your permit requires.
Stop chasing weeds, algae, and debris. With our monthly package, our crew visits your pond as often as it needs and handles everything in it — so it stays healthy all year and you never have to think about it.
We don't just treat symptoms — we deliver comprehensive solutions that produce lasting results for every type of water body.
No other company within 100 miles offers the complete range of pond and lake management services we provide. One call truly does it all.
Our fleet includes the Weedoo TC-12 harvester, multiple excavators including a Long Reach, loaders, dump trucks, pumps, and more — equipment for every job, no matter the size.
Fully licensed for aquatic herbicide application and backed by an environmental engineering team for complex restoration and permitting projects.

From residential ponds to commercial waterways, our customers trust us to deliver professional results every time.
"Had a serious hydrilla and water hyacinth problem on my 2-acre pond — couldn't see the water surface anymore. Panhandle Pond and Lake had someone on-site the same day and completely turned it around. The equipment they brought out was impressive and the crew knew exactly what they were doing."
"Our HOA retention pond was overtaken by floating mats and vegetation. Panhandle Pond and Lake handled everything from assessment to cleanup, communicated every step of the way, and the results were incredible. We've since signed a maintenance contract. They're the only company we'll call."
"I have three farm ponds that were all in bad shape — full of duckweed, debris, and muck. These guys brought serious equipment and handled it all in one visit. Fair pricing, honest assessment, and the results were outstanding. They're the only real pond management company in this part of Florida."
"After storm season our commercial retention pond was an absolute disaster — debris, fallen trees, vegetation everywhere. Panhandle Pond and Lake responded fast, cleared everything out, and left the pond in better shape than I'd ever seen it. Professional from start to finish."
"Hired them for a dredging job on our agricultural pond that had been filling in for years. They brought the right equipment and finished ahead of schedule. The pond holds twice the water it used to. Fair pricing and excellent communication throughout the entire project."
"Had them install an aeration fountain system on our community pond. They walked us through every option honestly, the installation was seamless, and the fountain looks absolutely beautiful at night. Our residents are thrilled. Already referred them to two neighbors."
"Our golf course ponds were embarrassing — vegetation, algae, foul odors all summer long. Panhandle Pond and Lake developed a comprehensive management plan, handled all the coordination, and the transformation was remarkable. They clearly know this industry inside and out."
