Hydrilla removal in Westlake & West Lake Hills
From Westlake Drive to the coves off the south and west shore, Westlake waterfronts include some of Lake Austin's most valuable homes, and some of its thickest summer hydrilla around docks and boathouses.
What we see around Westlake.
Boathouses and slips
Many Westlake properties have covered slips and lifts. Barriers are fitted around every piling and cradle so the slip stays clear and props stay clean.
Coves and protected water
Protected coves with little current are where hydrilla builds up fastest. Covering the bottom stops it at the source.
Estate-scale coverage
Larger waterfronts often combine a slip, a swim area and a launch. The Estate Waterfront package is built for that.
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 work on Westlake Drive and in West Lake Hills?
Yes. Westlake and West Lake Hills waterfronts on Lake Austin are part of our core service area.
Can you work around a covered boathouse and lift?
Yes. That's one of the most common Westlake installs. The layout is planned around every piling, lift cradle and intake line during your 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.
