Seasonal Algae Growth Lake & Pond Management

Is My Algae Growing Normally?

There are many different types of algae that can be found in a pond or lake. A certain amount of algae is healthy and can encourage a thriving ecosystem. But, like anything else on one’s property, it must be managed carefully.

A frequent question we receive is whether it is normal for algae to grow when the weather turns cooler in the fall.

The short answer is that yes, this is the normal lifecycle of algae. But there are many factors that also make a difference, including:

• The type of algae.
• The size of the body of water.
• The nutrients the algae have access too.
• The treatments the water has undergone.
• The light intensity the algae experiences.

These are just a few of the variables that can affect what “normal” growth for algae is.
