Clearing The Way With Vegetation Control

Every gardener, landowner, and property manager’s dream is to never have to deal with weeds again. It can be a challenge to control weeds on your property. Weeding by hand or using mechanical devices is taxing and costly.

Though riding weeds from your property seems like a daunting task, it can be expensive if you ignore them. Having unsightly weeds can cause damage to your parking lots, corrode metals such asFenceLine Weeds fences lining your property, are considered a potential fire hazard, and invites the city to fine you for not maintaining your property. Not only is it expensive, it mars the appearance of your property.

Vegetation control, also known as bare ground herbicides, is the means of treating specific areas with chemicals making it unsuitable for any plant growth during the course of the growing season. They target unwanted weeds and plant species to achieve long term control.

Advantages of Vegetation Control

  • Bare ground herbicides are “total kill” products that are designed to kill existing vegetation.
  • It helps keep out invasive plants, keeping the integrity of your property.
  • They are an all-in-one non-selective, pre- and post-emergent vegetation killers, meaning they prevent weeds from sprouting, kills any weeds it comes into contact with, controlling any existing weeds.

Where to use

Not all areas are suitable for bare ground herbicide applications. Vegetation control is best suited in non-vegetative lands such as gravel lots, fence lines, industrial sites, rock beds, equipment lots, and parking areas to name a few. Undesired weeds can seep through and destroy parking lots with cracks. Likewise, food industries that contain rock beds against the building are perfect locations to use a bare ground total weed control product.

Timing

For best results, we apply an initial treatment of bare ground herbicides in the early spring (early March) to control early germinating weeds. We apply as needed through late September or early October as different weeds grow during different climate changes.
