Waldrip Road Boat & RV Storage, located in the fast-growing Gainesville area of Northern Forsyth County near Lake Lanier, faced extensive kudzu growth and weed encroachment from neighboring agriculture operation, undeveloped parcels and nearby woods. This overgrowth posed a threat to the appearance and long-term maintenance cost of the site, which offers covered RV, boat, and truck storage, U-Haul rentals, and secure 24-hour gated access. The investor/owner of the property sought out professional vegetation control support to keep the property well-maintained for customers and prevent further issues caused by invasive species.
Partnering with VegClear, a licensed commercial weed control service, Waldrip Road Storage immediately benefited from ongoing vegetation management:
Targeted herbicide treatments specifically addressing kudzu, other invasive species, and invasive weeds around key industrial site features.
Annual flat rate program allowed the site to maintain its clean and secure environment while eliminating potential hazards from overgrown plants.
EPA-Approved Products: All herbicides were selected based on efficacy & safety, ensuring compliance with environmental regulations maintaining control of unwanted vegetation.
Perimeters and Ponds: VegClear treated around borders, fences and ponds to prevent weeds from growing and causing damage. Kudzu was selectively managed on retention pond shelves.
Parking Lots and Curbs: The self-service RV, Trailer & Boat parking lot was treated curb-to-curb hand applying herbicides to cracks and crevices to ensure it remained weed-free and visually appealing.
Fence Lines and Drainage Areas: Technicians targeted overgrown fence sections, ensuring they remained clear of weeds, to project a professional image for the Gainesville, GA industrial self-storage site.
VegClear focused on providing thorough bare ground weed
control around paved areas, retention ponds, and storage perimeters.
Initial applications included:
Fence Lines and Perimeters: Using a combination of contractor-grade total vegetation control herbicides, VegClear targeted kudzu and other fast-growing invasive plants threatening the fence lines and road frontage. By using hand-held and boom sprayers, the work ensured even coverage and effective application in hard-to-reach areas.
Retention Ponds: For areas surrounding retention ponds, where standing water and seasonal growth are concerns, VegClear applied pre-emergent industrial weed killer to prevent future weed infestations.
Cracks and Crevices: Pavement and gravel areas, including driveways and thru-roads, were treated with non-selective herbicide to prevent regrowth in cracks and crevices, enhancing the site’s visual appeal and reducing maintenance needs.
Herbicide Products and Professional Application Methods
Given the challenges of the site, including persistent kudzu encroachment, VegClear applied a combination of multiple strength herbicide mix variations based on the vegetation type and location. The use of skid-mounted sprayers, backpack sprayers, and handheld applicators ensured precision across the varied terrain.
Post-Emergent Herbicides: These were applied at strategic times during the season, particularly to combat invasive plants like kudzu and poison ivy, which threatened the property’s edges and wooded boundaries.
Pre-Emergent Applications: A mix guide for WP & DG herbicides was followed to ensure consistent, controlled application in mulched and gravel areas.
The primary challenge faced at Waldrip Road Storage was the aggressive growth of kudzu along the wooded perimeter. VegClear’s technicians targeted these areas with specialized treatments, mapping out sections for both spot spraying and total vegetation control blanket treatments. Color-coded maps provided clear treatment boundaries, with yellow marking roadside areas for spot spray and red indicating areas for blanket coverage.
Another issue was the seasonal weather patterns in the Southeast, which required precise timing of applications. VegClear’s technicians scheduled treatments around local weather forecasts, ensuring that herbicides had time to dry and absorb into the soil before any rainfall or customer activity.
Since partnering with VegClear, Waldrip Road RV & Boat Storage has seen significant improvement in its overall appearance and functionality. The property is now free from kudzu and overgrown vegetation, providing a clean and welcoming environment for customers. The licensed commercial weed control company continues to monitor the site with regular follow-up treatments, ensuring long-term success in maintaining a well-managed property.
