Improve Our Water Quality

SOLitude Lake Management visited our Miami Lakes Community to obtain water samples as part of the Town of Miami Lakes lake water improvement initiative. The staff was highly professional, explained all details of lake water maintenance, and took the time to provide remedies for non-oxygenated waters. Highly recommend.

Super People to Work With

Our lake was a mess two years ago. SOLitude Lake Management came in once a month and took care of all the problems we had. Anytime we have issues, which there were very few, they send someone to address it within the week. Great company and super people to work with.
