Benthic barriers, better known as lake mats, are specifically designed to block sunlight, preventing all aquatic plant growth.
The mats are weighted down and secured to the bottom of the lake or pond to prevent vegetation growth. We will install mats before weed growth at the beginning of each season and remove them at the end of the season.
In the fall, we remove, rinse, and prep them for winter storage to ensure they remain functional.
Mats come in a variety of sizes to fit your needs.

Effective Installation and Maintenance
Benthic barriers, known as lake mats, are a powerful solution for controlling aquatic plant growth by blocking sunlight and preventing the growth of unwanted vegetation. At C&D Underwater Maintenance, we provide installation and maintenance services for benthic barriers, ensuring your waterways remain clear and healthy throughout the year.
What Are Benthic Barriers?
Benthic barriers are specially designed mats placed on the bottom of water bodies to obstruct sunlight, which is essential for the growth of aquatic plants. By using these barriers, we can effectively control the spread of invasive species and maintain the ecological balance of your lake or pond.
Our Benthic Barrier Services
- Seasonal Installation: We strategically install benthic barriers at the beginning of each season, before weed growth starts. Our precise installation process ensures maximum coverage and effectiveness in blocking sunlight and preventing plant growth.
- Professional Maintenance: Regular maintenance is crucial for the longevity and functionality of benthic barriers.
