MINNEAPOLIS (WCCO) On the shores of Lake Minnetonka, there’s something lurking underneath the surface that’s driving lake lovers crazy, and keeping others busy.
Josh Leddy is owner of Life’s a Beach Shoreline Services, a company that will show up and scoop out your lake weeds.
“It’s just kind of like scooping, twirling, ripping and pulling,” Leddy said. “It’s the best job. You get a workout, you get a tan.”
When wild weeds start tickling toes and creeping closer to shore, people call Leddy and his crew, which is mostly made up of old high school friends. Leddy has been at this for 18 years, but this summer is off the charts because the weeds are out of control.
