Why Lake Austin has a hydrilla problem
Lake Austin is a narrow, constant-level lake on the Colorado River between Mansfield Dam and Tom Miller Dam, running right through west Austin. Steady water levels mean the shallows stay put all year, which gives submerged weeds stable habitat. Hydrilla has been a long-running issue on Lake Austin. Over the years, local agencies have tried lake-wide measures like winter drawdowns and sterile grass carp.
Those programs work at the scale of the whole lake. They don't guarantee your slip or swim ladder is clear on a Saturday in July. That's the gap hand removal fills.
A real Lake Austin job
The boat in our before-and-after photos was sitting in a solid mat of hydrilla at a private dock on Lake Austin. After one visit, the slip was open water with a clear view to the bottom.

Lake Austin FAQ
Is hydrilla a problem on Lake Austin?
Yes. Lake Austin's constant water level and shallow edges make it one of the most hydrilla-prone lakes in the Highland Lakes chain, and local agencies have run lake-wide control programs there over the years.
Can I remove hydrilla from my own Lake Austin dock?
Many homeowners try raking it themselves. The key is to cut at the base and collect everything, because floating fragments can root again. If you'd rather not spend a hot afternoon doing it, we can help.
