SOLitude Lake Management

Diamond Level Winner—Pools, Lakes, and Parks
(Winner 2022 and three previous RCA wins)

     SOLitude Lake Management is a leading freshwater management firm specializing in the sustainable management of lakes, ponds, wetlands, and preserves throughout Florida.      

     SOLitude’s team of aquatic scientists and experts is committed to innovation, technical advancement, and continuous research to provide HOAs, apartment complexes, and communities with preventive, holistic water quality care. 

     Prioritizing the health of community waterbodies can help enhance beauty, raise property values, and increase the desirability of residential areas. Well-managed water resources also instill a sense of peace and connectedness among residents. 

     The first step in the journey is to address existing challenges such as shoreline erosion, which is a common source of many problems like flooding, muck development, and chronic weed and algae growth. Bio-engineered shoreline technologies are the most effective way to stabilize sediment around a waterbody. During the restoration process, knitted mesh materials are used to repurpose eroded sediment to contour and secure the shoreline for many years of stability. Turf and native buffer plants can then be introduced for added strength and aesthetic appeal. 

     Once restored, water resources should be maintained regularly with eco-friendly solutions like water quality testing, fountains and aeration, buffer management, nutrient mitigation, bathymetry, mechanical hydro-raking, and weed and algae management via professional drone technology to maximize enjoyment and nurture community well-being.
