Vegetation control is the elimination of unwanted vegetation, weeds, and invasive species from parking lots, fence lines, gravel lots Right of Ways (ROW), pipeline easements, petroleum tank farms, commercial and industrial sites.
Our team starts with a thorough assessment of your site identifying the target vegetation that requires control or removal.
Targeted Herbicide Application
Once we have a clear understanding of what types of vegetation need to be controlled, we can formulate the proper selective herbicides for the best results. Many variables are considered when selecting herbicides for your site including the surrounding vegetation, proximity to water, and drift potential.
Follow-Up & Maintenance
Vegetation control is an ongoing process. Our team provides follow-up visits to ensure the treatment is working and to address any new vegetation growth.
Are your products organic?
While some of our products contain organic material such as microbes and beneficial bacteria, we use a formulated synthetic fertilizer to provide the perfect blend of nutrients that your lawn and plants need. Typically, organic fertilizers contain animal waste and are not recommended for turfgrass.
Is it safe for my pets and kids?
Yes, the products we use are safe for pets and kids. There may be a short period of time that kids and pets must stay off of the newly treated lawn. Typically after the lawn has dried, and absorbed the products (usually within 24 hours).
When can I water?
Usually within 24 hours depending on the application. The product must be dried and absorbed by the lawn to be effective. The granulated grub prevention application (steps (3-4) should be watered in ASAP.
How much should I water?
In Michigan, we have a temperate climate and grasses will typically need about one inch of rainfall per week to stay active and green. In cooler temperatures it may require less, and in the intense summer heat it may require more.
Do your products kill bees / pollinators?
No. The insecticide we use to prevent grubs and other pests does not adversely affect bees or earthworms. If a situation were to happen where we need to use a Neonicotinoid class (harmful to bees) of insecticide, we would not apply on flowering plants and have the homeowner water in the insecticide after application. This practice reduces or eliminates the contact with helpful pollinators such as honeybees.
Is grub prevention included?
Yes, grub prevention is included in the program. If there is a problem with grubs later in the year, we will come out and treat at no cost.
