Identifying weed types and applying targeted treatments. If you have an abundance of weeds, a program needs to be setup to obtain a weed free lawn. This process can take up to 2 years depending on the severity of the weed problem.

Mixing and spraying herbicides for various settings (residential and commercial).
Costs vary by property size, weed type, and treatment frequency.

What is Post Emergent Herbicide?
Post-emergent herbicides are products used to control weeds in lawns and gardens after they have already emerged from the soil. These products are typically applied as liquids or granules, either with a pump sprayer or broadcast spreader. Post-emergents attack weeds by targeting specific plant parts, such as leaves and stems, rather than attacking the plant roots like pre-emergent herbicides do.
Regarding post-emergent weed control, there are two types of herbicides: selective and non-selective. Selective herbicides target certain types of plants while leaving other plants unharmed. For example, some selective herbicides will kill broadleaf weeds without harming grassy weeds. Non-selective herbicide treatments kill all vegetation indiscriminately, so caution should be taken when applying them near surrounding grasses or desirable plants that you want to keep alive.
Systemic post-emergent herbicides contain active ingredients that traverse the entire plant after being absorbed through leaves or roots. This implies that even if only one part of a weed is treated with such products, it can still be eliminated due to the active ingredient migrating throughout its vascular system until reaching its root system, where it completely eradicates any weeds. On the other hand, contact-based treatments must come into direct contact with each weed for them to perish; these too can be effective but may require several applications depending on how many small weeds are present around your lawn care area needing treatment given time.
Post-emergent herbicides are an effective way to control weeds in your lawn, and with the right application techniques, you can ensure they work effectively. When applying post-emergent herbicide, it is important to take certain safety precautions and avoid common mistakes to get the best results.
What Is Pre-Emergent?
Pre-emergent is a herbicide that gets applied indiscriminately across your entire yard. This form of herbicide differs from post-emergent weed control, which typically focuses on isolated areas where weeds are visibly growing. Pre-emergent contains certain chemicals that are effective at stopping and or slowing the growth of weeds in the soil.
How Do Pre-Emergents Work?
The strategy through which pre-emergents succeed is simple but highly effective. Pre-emergents do not directly attack weed seeds as they are germinating, but they do prevent the process of germination from extending through the soil surface. When applied, pre-emergent creates a protective barrier across the soil in your yard. Seedlings that are attempting to germinate under the soil will hit this barrier and cease growing/germinating.
After germination is stopped, the young seedling will either go into dormancy or it will die. Preventing new weeds from emerging also means you are preventing all those potential weeds from spreading hundreds of more seeds, making pre-emergent weed control a complete remedy.
Industrial Vegetation Management
Industrial Vegetation Management plays a crucial role in the safety, appearance and economics of our highways, railroads, utilities and pipelines. If weeds were left untreated on such sites, it can make things unsafe for workers and even be a fire hazard.
Vegetation like grass and other weeds (Trees, brush and shrubbery) can pop up and grow where they are not meant to grow. Invasive vegetation is known to grow on roadsides, energy transportation corridors, industrial sites, storage areas, military installations, pipelines and other service areas. Industrial sites are made on soil and earth so plants will adapt and try to grow in these spots if the opportunity arises. Industrial areas and rights of way are vital for the proper functioning of an industrialized society, but when weeds are growing in such areas, they can interfere with processes, damage equipment and facilities, make maneuvering difficult for industrial workers, and increase risk of fires and safety hazards.
Getting rid of unsightly vegetation on industrial sites can be a frustrating and costly task especially when invasive and hard-to-control weeds keep re-emerging. That is why we have put together an expert guide that explains how to use high-quality Industrial Vegetation management products that can help maintenance managers effectively and efficiently take care of problem weeds.
