Algae blooms are one of the biggest threats to both lake health and human health. If your lake is turning green, losing clarity, or developing toxic cyanobacteria, excess nutrient run off is likely the cause.
Very concerning studies from around the world are beginning to link clusters of ALS and other neurological conditions to recurring cyanobacterial blooms, making it a serious issue for both environmental and public health.
At Eden Lakes, our TimberChar™ Nutrient Harvesting filters treatment uses a sustainable TimberChar™ application to naturally bind phosphorus and prevent it from fueling algae growth. This chemical-free solution is designed for lake associations, residential communities, and municipalities seeking long-term restoration—not just a temporary fix.
TimberChar™ Treatment is a lake-friendly method that uses activated biochar—a carbon-rich material that acts like a magnet for phosphorus. Once applied to a waterbody, the biochar binds excess nutrients and locks them away, breaking the cycle that causes harmful algae blooms, murky water, and declining lake health.
Our proprietary TimberChar™ system takes this approach further with a sustainable, closed-loop solution. It begins with the responsible removal of dead standing timber from forests, which is then transformed into patented Nutrient Harvesting Filters developed specifically for lake and lagoon restoration. These filters target and remove excess nutrients—particularly phosphorus—before they can trigger harmful algal growth.
TimberChar™ combines powerful natural filtration with advanced electrochemical action. Utilizing both cation and anion exchange capacity, it captures a wide range of contaminants. A single standard-temperature TimberChar™ filter contains up to 1.2 million square meters of surface area, enabling remarkable nutrient absorption and long-lasting restoration performance.
Once saturated, the TimberChar™ can be repurposed and returned to the soil—restoring not only water quality but contributing to healthier soils by reversing centuries of nutrient depletion.
A chemical-free, regenerative system that improves water quality, supports ecosystem health, and creates sustainable impact above and below the surface.
With a wide team of members with decades of experience restoring water quality nationwide, Eden Lakes uses modern, nature-based solutions to help protect and revitalize your lake.
We work closely with our clients to create custom TimberChar™ Treatment plans that not only deliver results—but continue working long-term.
From start to finish, we manage the full restoration process through a clearly defined, time-based contract. Whether collaborating with your existing lake manager or partnering with trusted experts like Restorative Lake Sciences, we ensure every step aligns with your lake’s goals—delivering the outcomes your community cares about.
Let’s start working together on a natural environment plan to restore your waters back to a healthy condition
TimberChar™ Treatment binds excess phosphorus in the water, which is the primary nutrient fueling algae blooms. By reducing phosphorus availability, it cuts off the food source for blue-green algae and cyanobacteria.
Yes. TimberChar™ is a natural, carbon-based material that is safe for aquatic life and does not introduce harmful chemicals.
Most applications offer 3-5 years of effectiveness, depending on runoff conditions and water flow. It is part of a long-term restoration strategy.
Absolutely. It’s ideal for HOA-managed lakes, subdivisions, and parks due to its low-impact, natural approach.
Yes. It’s a nature-based treatment that aligns with regulatory goals and best practices for nutrient control in freshwater systems.
Let’s talk. Whether you’re facing compliance issues, algae blooms, or biosolids buildup, we’re here to help you find a solution that works—for your water and your community.
