Bare Ground Application Considerations

Total Vegetation Control Service (TVC) is suitable in places where no vegetation growth is desired. VegClear Applies TVC products to already bare ground, or, when weeds are actively growing, if the site hasn't received a previous application. As an Industrial Vegetation Control Management Contractor, we know that effective bareground control is not a one-size-fits-all approach. That's why we work with herbicide manufacturers and our in house dedicated chemical specialists, who coordinate with our field application team from every angle. Our capable personnel and strategic partnerships allow us to develop customized flexible tank-mixes and proprietary blends for control of a broad range of weeds, consistently across different geographies and regions.

We understand that the variables of rainfall, temperature, weed species, and soil types vary widely across the United States. This is why we communicate with our clients to share observations, best practices and vegetation identification, gathered on the property. We identify product solutions and tank-mixes that work best for the specific commercial properties and areas we are working in. By taking these factors into consideration, we've been able to develop safe and effective methods for bareground weed control. This allows us to continuously deliver the most consistent vegetation control results for our clients.

Site preparation

When weeds are taller than six inches, we advise clients to mechanically cut down (mow or trim) weeds and blow debris before we schedule a spray treatment. Ideally schedules will allow for two weeks of new growth to maximize absorption and thus effectiveness of products applied to vegetation. In cases of trimmed woody vines or brush, it’s best to wait until leaf formation to execute an industrial weed control treatment.

Weeds & Growth Controlled

Bare ground applications will control most types of vegetation, including grasses, broadleaf weeds, trees, brush, and vines, in commercial areas treated. These treatments are suitable for industrial sites, around buildings, paved areas, gravel and cemented areas.

Bareground Service Application Frequency

Twice per year re-treatments, roughly every six to eight months, is typically necessary in areas of average to heavy rainfall. In drier parts of the country, we are able to fully eradicate vegetation with a single annual treatment in many cases. We’ll fully advise on these and other matters upon a thorough review of the individual site conditions. Our team develops a custom NOAA weather history review as part of our standard onboarding procedure.

Non-selective herbicides are a powerful tool for industrial vegetation control. They are particularly useful on bare ground and gravel areas on commercial property in the Southeast US, including Georgia. These chemicals are designed to eliminate and, most of the time, also prevent, all plant life they come into contact with, making them ideal for eliminating weeds from large areas where no vegetation should be growing, such as fence rows, driveways, parking lots, and sidewalks.

One highly effective approach for industrial use is VegClear’s proprietary herbicide tank mix application service. This non-selective mix contains powerful active ingredients that provide excellent control of both broadleaf, woody brush and grassy weeds. Our technicians arrive onsite with mix equipment ready to apply, including surfactant, which helps the product stick to leaf surfaces for maximum effectiveness.

When applying non-selective herbicides, VegClear personnel always use proper PPE. Personal protective equipment according to product label is critical in addition to industry standards, whichever are more restrictive. Technicians avoid spraying on windy, wet (in active rain) or snowy days. Precise spot treatment can also help to avoid damaging desired vegetation on nearby sites. For gravel parcels, using a long-lasting weed killer with preemergence can help to eliminate existing weeds and prevent new growth for several months.

Total Vegetation Control Has A Place and Time

Appropriate Commercial Property Types Suitable for Bareground Industrial Growth Management Applications

Bare Ground Applications are only completed on areas not used for crops (exclusively industrial uses). Examples of these property uses include bleachers, bridges, abutments, industrial building perimeters, bunkers, buried cable closures, catwalks, compressor stations, cooling towers, cross connection boxes, electrical generator pads, fence lines, fire hydrants, plugs or walls, fuel tanks, generating plants, guardrails, helipads, highway and street markers, loading stations, lumber yards, microwave towers, oil and gas pipelines, oil refineries, parking lots, pump decks, railroad rights of way (berms and sidings), runway lights, airport runways, sign posts, storage and equipment yards, utility poles and substations, vacant lots, valves and manifolds, and waste lagoons.

Despite its reputation, Bare Ground Herbicide Applications and Vegetation Control Services help to reduce the impact of human activity on nature and the environment when conducted properly and by a professional contractor. This is because our approach only requires minimal disruption and disturbance to the land, and it can be completed quickly, often in a single day per year, and with minimal disturbance to the surrounding environment. Furthermore, vegetation management allows property usage compatibility with existing structures, making critical infrastructure easier to install and maintain. Finally, Bare Ground Applications are cost efficient, ensuring that developers can build without increasing their overhead costs.
