Hydrilla removal near Lakeway

Lakeway sits on Lake Travis, just west of our home water on Lake Austin. Rocky points, boat slips and resort-style swim areas all deal with the same hydrilla that clogs Lake Austin's shallows.

What we see around Lakeway.

Marina and slip traffic

Lakeway's marinas and private boat slips see heavy traffic. Hydrilla around pilings and launch channels is more than a nuisance — it's a hazard for props and swimmers.

Fluctuating lake levels

Lake Travis rises and falls more than Lake Austin. We size the barrier and anchoring to your typical water levels so it keeps working through the season.

Resort and estate shorelines

From private estate docks to shared community swim areas, we scope each Lakeway install to the specific shoreline and use.

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

Lakeway hydrilla questions.

Do you serve Lakeway waterfronts on Lake Travis?

Yes. Lake Austin is our home water, but we take Lakeway and Lake Travis projects on request, including docks, boat slips and swim areas.

Lake Travis rises and falls more than Lake Austin. Does that change the install?

It changes the layout, not whether it works. We size and anchor the barrier for your water depth and typical seasonal lake levels during the on-site assessment.

Do I need a permit to control hydrilla near Lakeway?

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 near Lakeway?

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.
