Hydrilla removal near Davenport Ranch & Loop 360

The stretch of Lake Austin around the Pennybacker Bridge and Bull Creek is some of the busiest boating water on the lake. Waterfronts here need clean slips, clear props and usable swim water.

What we see around Davenport Ranch.

Busy boating water

Heavy boat traffic near Loop 360 churns up hydrilla fragments, which drift and root along nearby shorelines. A barrier keeps your zone from becoming a landing spot.

Bull Creek inflow

Creek mouths bring nutrients and sediment into the lake, and hydrilla takes advantage. We'll check how your site is affected during the assessment.

Protect the boat

Clearing the slip and approach means no more pulling weeds off the prop before every ride.

The Fix

Clear it once. Keep it clear.

We clear the hydrilla in your zone, haul the fragments away, and cover the lake floor with a barrier so it can't grow back. Add the sand finish for a soft swim-area floor.

Questions

Davenport Ranch hydrilla questions.

Do you serve waterfronts near the Pennybacker Bridge?

Yes. The Loop 360, Davenport Ranch and Bull Creek stretch of Lake Austin is part of our core service area.

Why does hydrilla spread so fast in busy parts of the lake?

Boats and wakes break hydrilla into fragments, and each fragment can drift and root somewhere new. A barrier removes the rooting surface in your zone.

Do I need a permit to control hydrilla on Lake Austin?

Yes. Removing or controlling hydrilla in Texas public waters, including installing bottom barriers, requires Texas Parks and Wildlife Department approval. Lake Floor Austin prepares and files the paperwork as part of every project. See our permit guide.

How much does hydrilla control cost on Lake Austin?

Pricing depends on square footage, water depth, access and finish. Installs start at 192 sq. ft. and scale up to any size. Every quote follows a free on-site waterfront assessment. See packages.
