Consulting
At Stonefly Aquatic Nursery, we offer comprehensive consulting services for ponds, lakes, and wetlands to ensure every project achieves both ecological function and aesthetic balance. Our team works closely with clients to assess site conditions, water levels, and existing vegetation in order to identify optimal planting locations, appropriate species selections, and recommended quantities for long-term success. Whether you’re restoring a degraded shoreline, enhancing habitat diversity, or designing a new aquatic feature, we provide customized, science-based guidance tailored to your goals and the unique characteristics of your waterbody.
Our consulting services begin in the field — assessing each waterbody firsthand. This is when our aquatic ecologists survey a client’s lake to evaluate site conditions, identify ideal planting zones, and determine the most suitable native species for long-term ecological health and beauty.
A successful project, whether for restoration or a visually pleasing pond, starts with understanding what’s already there. Identifying the native and invasive species already present helps guide planting plans, ensuring new additions complement the existing ecosystem and support long-term ecological balance.
Every newly constructed pond, lake and wetland starts as a blank canvas for future habitat. Assessing soil and water conditions, defining planting zones, and determining which native species will establish a balanced, thriving ecosystem from the start are vital.
