Cutting, Raking & Skimming Services

Our team handles the difficult, underwater work and shoreline clean-up so your family can enjoy the lake without weeds, muck or floating mats.

Hand-Cutting & Raking

Manual weed cutting and raking in the most-used areas around your dock, hoist and swim ladder.

Shoreline Clean-Up & Debris Removal

We gather and remove loose weeds and floating debris that wash up along your shoreline, dock lanes, and swim areas after storms, wind shifts, and busy weekends.

15-ft Navigation Lane

Where allowed, we clear a lane out to deeper water so props avoid heavy weed beds and swimmers have a cleaner path out.

Shoreline Staging & Compost Prep

We stage removed weeds above the waterline so they can drain and dry, making compost or haul-away easier.

How Lake Weed Removal Works

We keep it simple: show us the problem, agree on a plan, then we get in the water and do the work so you don’t have to.

  1. 1. Show Us Your Shoreline

    Walk your property with us or send photos/video of your dock, hoists and swim area.

  2. 2. Plan & Straightforward Quote

    One-time reset or seasonal plan based on frontage, depth, weed density and access.

  3. 3. Cut, Rake & Clean Up the Weeds

    We cut and rake weeds around docks, hoists and swim zones, then clean up and remove the mess from your shoreline.

  4. 4. Stage or Haul-Away

    We stage weeds to drain and dry or arrange haul-away depending on what makes sense for your property.

When Are Lake Rakers Services Available?

Demand spikes around holidays and peak summer. We focus on the windows that make the biggest difference for your dock and swim area.

  • Spring reset: Clear weeds and muck before the main season starts.
  • Mid-summer maintenance: Keep swim areas and dock lanes open during the busiest weeks.
  • Pre-holiday cleanups: Extra attention before big weekends and family events.
  • Late-season cleanup: End-of-season passes to leave your shoreline in better shape for next year.

The sooner you reach out, the easier it is to align service windows with your schedule and the lake’s busy season.
