Many people find landscaping and gardening to be important parts of a healthy lifestyle.
These activities can also improve both the beauty and value of your property. However, misuse of fertilizers and chemicals threatens the water quality of your lake. For lakeshore property owners, the value of your property is directly linked to the water quality of your lake. Should that lake develop an algal bloom, your property value will drop significantly. A well-groomed, lush, green lawn is not the ideal landscape for lake shorefronts.
