Cutting, Raking & Skimming Services

Our team handles the difficult, underwater work 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.

Surface Skimming

Removal of floating mats, loose weeds and algae that collect near your shoreline.

15-ft Navigation Lane

Where allowed, we clear a lane out to deeper water so props avoid heavy weed beds.

Shoreline Staging & Compost Prep

We stage removed weeds 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

    We walk your property with you or you send photos/video of your dock, hoists, and swim area so we can see how dense the weeds are.

  2. 2. Plan & Straightforward Quote

    We recommend a one-time reset or a seasonal plan and quote it based on frontage, depth, weed density, and access. No mystery pricing.

  3. 3. Cut, Rake & Skim the Weeds

    Our crew cuts and rakes weeds around docks, hoists, and swim zones, then skims the floating mess so you’re not staring at green mats.

  4. 4. Stage or Haul-Away

    We stage weeds where they can drain and dry for compost 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 line up service windows that work with your schedule and the lake’s busy season.
