Hydrilla removal near River Place
On the upper, northwest end of Lake Austin, River Place-area waterfronts sit on quieter water with steep Hill Country shorelines, and hydrilla still finds the shallow edges and coves.
What we see around River Place.
Steep shorelines, shallow shelves
Upper Lake Austin shorelines often drop off quickly with a narrow shallow shelf near the bank. That shelf is where hydrilla grows and where you swim and launch.
Quieter coves
Low-traffic coves stay calm and warm, which is ideal for hydrilla. A barrier keeps your cove usable all season.
Launch-focused installs
A clear path from the shoreline out past the weed line is often all you need for paddleboards and kayaks.
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.

Do you serve the upper end of Lake Austin?
Yes. We work the whole lake from Tom Miller Dam to Mansfield Dam, including the River Place area.
Will a barrier work on a steep shoreline?
Yes. Layout and anchoring are sized to your depth and slope during the on-site assessment.
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.
