Aquatic Environments of Benicia, Calif., and Water Resource Management of Glendale, Ariz., have joined SOLitude Lake Management.

Aquatic Environments was acquired in April of this year. Water Resource Management was acquired in August. As of Oct. 29 all company operations, service offerings and infrastructure were officially unified. The rebranding further expands SOLitude’s nationwide presence to the West Coast and the Southwestern U.S.

Established in 1998, Aquatic Environments is the largest full-service lake and water feature maintenance contractor serving California and Nevada. The company has extensive experience in mechanical dredging and flood mitigation.

Water Resource Management, also founded in 1998, has been a leading innovator in the freshwater management industry, with a particular expertise in the management of lakes and irrigation ponds in harsh, dry environments. The company promotes a biologically sound methodology for the management of manmade aquatic ecosystems, and provides clients customized solutions based on data and knowledge-based problem solving.

The three firms find common ground in their focus on client satisfaction, continuous research and the use of cutting-edge industry technologies.

Through the rebranding of each company, SOLitude welcomes more than 50 experienced professionals to the company’s team, including biologists, ecologists and other degreed lake management experts.

“We’re honored and excited to join forces with some of the most well-established and knowledgeable freshwater management teams in the country,” said Kevin Tucker, CEO of SOLitude Lake Management. “Aquatic Environments and Water Resource Management are industry pioneers that put a shared premium on delivering superior customer service while making a positive impact on their clients and local communities.”
