EverBlue Lakes

What EverBlue Lakes does

EverBlue Lakes (legal entity EverBlue Lakes, LLC; formerly Lake Savers, LLC) is a U.S. natural lake restoration services company founded in 2007 by John Tucci and headquartered in Richland, Michigan. The company designs and deploys chemical-free lake remediation programs for lake homeowner associations, residential lakefront property owners, and municipal drinking-water reservoirs, operating across more than 15 states with a portfolio of 40+ named projects and a cumulative footprint of 50,000+ restored acres.

The company's offering is anchored in five proprietary technology platforms sold collectively as the "EverBlue Natural Toolbox"™: AerForce™ micro-porous ceramic diffuser aeration systems (protected by US Patent #9688553, granted 2017), BioBlast™ and AutoBio Systems™ biological bacterial augmentation (co-developed with PureAg), Smart Watershed™ management tools including Filter Grass™ (with Aquaflex™), and the Phosphorus Harvester™/Metafloc™ chemistry-based phosphorus removal system. These technologies are combined into custom Natural Lake Improvement Plans, with outcomes independently validated by third-party limnologists showing 40–60% reductions in phosphorus and nitrogen, 1+ foot of muck reduction per season, and elimination of harmful algal blooms on deployed projects.

Commercially, EverBlue operates a direct, sales-led model with no resellers, using a performance-based contracting structure in which it funds upfront capital and amortizes the cost annually for the customer, with payment contingent on measurable improvements in weed, algae, and muck conditions. Pricing benchmarks indicate ~$2/day per property owner for full-service programs, $100/pound of phosphorus removed via Metafloc™, and $150+ for lakefront consultations. The company runs a sister entity, AerationTech (formed 2016), targeting adjacent wastewater, aquaculture, and canal restoration markets with the same aeration technology base.

Revenue model

1. Performance-Based Lake Restoration Services: EverBlue makes upfront capital investment in restoration systems and annualizes costs for customers. The company does not receive full payment unless the system delivers measurable weed, algae, and muck reduction. This performance-based contracting model aligns company incentives with customer outcomes.
2. Full-Service Lake Management Program: Ongoing management services including water quality analysis, equipment maintenance, and monitoring. The company guarantees equipment operates in as-new condition for the life of the program.
