Lake Pro

What Lake Pro does

Lake Pro, Inc. is a privately held lake and pond management service company headquartered in Katy, Texas, serving the greater Houston metropolitan area since 1991. Owned by James "Macky" McIntyre, an Aquaculture/Fishery Management graduate of Texas A&M University, the company provides professional maintenance, vegetation control, fishery management, fountain installation and repair, fish stocking, and permitting services to 230-plus community associations, homeowners' associations, commercial property representatives, and urban developers.

The company's core offering is integrated, recurring field services delivered through six dedicated service crews and 35-plus full-time field technicians and biologists. Service lines include Urban Lake Management (weekly, semi-monthly, or monthly visits with water quality analysis, vegetation monitoring, fountain repair, and monthly reporting), Aquatic Vegetation Control (mechanical, chemical, and biological methods using EPA-approved herbicides applied by state-certified applicators), Fishery Management (electro-fishing surveys, population assessments, habitat enhancement, forage management), Fish Stocking (live delivery of largemouth bass, bluegill, catfish, hybrid striped bass, tilapia, and triploid grass carp), and permitting services (subsidence district and regional water authority billing). Lake Pro also sells and installs two fountain product lines — Aqua Control (0.5 HP to 40 HP) and AquaMaster — as bundled service-and-hardware offerings.

Lake Pro operates a sales-led, direct-service go-to-market model with quote-based pricing generated through phone consultations and website inquiries. Revenue is a mix of recurring maintenance programs, project-based professional services, and hardware sales. The company has no external institutional investors, no funding rounds, and no disclosed revenue. The Lake Pro, Inc. website serves primarily as a marketing and customer-authentication portal rather than a software platform, and there is no disclosed AI, API, or integration offering.
