Beautiful Ponds

Vue d'ensemble

The mission of Beautiful Ponds is to make aquatic environments a little healthier each month and is committed to being more environmentally friendly & responsible than other companies. Now that "green" is popular, everyone claims to be environmentally responsible, but they have created a system to balance aesthetic beauty & environmental health through natural pond management strategies. Every lake and stormwater pond community is a complex ecosystem that requires regular management. Beautiful Ponds uses less invasive and environmentally friendly approaches to manage aquatic communities. By implementing aeration techniques, water quality management, erosion control, fish stocking and biological control methods, they are able to provide their clients a safer, more natural alternative.

Beautiful Ponds has been recognized by several organizations, and earned the following awards:
2006 Girls Scout Presidents Award for Environmental Leadership & Education
2007 Sarasota Audubon Society (SAS) Environmental Business Award
2008 Rivendell Fire Wise Award for Taking Action to Protect People & Property from the Risk of Wildfire
2010 Riverwood FireWise Award for Taking Action to Protect People & Property from the Risk of Wildfire
As a Green Business Partner, Beautiful Ponds exceeds the required program minimums. Beautiful Ponds consciously looks for additional ways to reduce all waste in their operations through further recycling efforts, elimination of printed materials, reduction of herbicides, and implementation of company policies that save gas, time, water, and energy. Beautiful Ponds also encourages their supply chain and office complex to introduce waste reducing measures.

Beautiful Ponds became a Sarasota County Green Business Partner in 2012. The Green Business Partnership (GBP) encourages environmental stewardship in the commercial sector, and recognizes businesses that make an extra effort to operate in an environmentally responsible manner. This collaborative effort includes businesses, business organizations and local governments. The GBP was initiated through a grant awarded by the Florida Department of Environmental Protection to Sarasota County.
