Clearing waterways of nuisance vegetation can be a green achievement

“We find that many government agencies are trending toward ‘green’ initiatives, yes. But at the end of the day, what officials really want is a product that makes their job easier, not harder. They need to provide results to their constituents. The Weedoo is a proven model that not only provides effective and immediate results; it also saves these agencies a lot of money.”

Lordi notes that the phrase “grounds maintenance” for many grounds and property managers includes aquatic cleanup. She adds that a key part of that maintenance includes a growing demand for products that can get rid of nuisance weeds and other vegetation overgrowth without the use (and overuse) of dangerous herbicides.

“Government agencies are under pressure from environmental groups and the citizens they serve to protect their waterways by using more sustainable solutions. Consequently, there’s been an explosion in demand for equipment like the aquatic cleanup boats made by Weedoo. These easy-to-maneuver boats can clear 100 tons of vegetation in a day, without the use of herbicides.” Today, Weedoo craft are safely cleaning waterways in 41 states and 18 countries worldwide.”

Lordi outlines the success of her firm’s products compared to traditional weed-killer chemicals: “One municipality went from spending $250,000 a year on herbicides to clear up its lakes and waterways to zero dollars in three years.”   

The Weedoo machine provides a method that effectively cleans lakes and streams without causing significant harm to the water. It is user-friendly and sturdy enough to complete the job. The company’s TC-Series workboat, which has been compared to a skid steer on water, can easily navigate through shallow rivers, streams, ponds and other bodies of water.
