With VegClear's services, your agency is able to provide a more efficient and cost effective means of maintaining vegetation around critical infrastructure sites.

Municipal Vegetation Management is essential for driver safety while maintaining consideration for biodiversity conservation. When roadside vegetation reduces visibility or poses a traffic hazard, a compromise must be reached. To minimize the impacts on adjacent vegetation and habitats, drainage of roads and roadsides must be designed properly and maintained to manage water routes over the course of an entire season. Control of invasive species (environmental weeds) should be the primary focus of most municipal roadside vegetation management programs, and harm to native plants should be minimized wherever possible for soil stabilization, shade, ornamental planting and to control noise and light pollution. Additionally, perennial vegetation cover and ongoing management are needed to keep weeds under control.

RIGHT OF WAY & UTILITY EASEMENT Application METHODS

Foliar Spray Herbicide Treatment
Precision or Broadcast Foliar Spraying is a common method of applying selective herbicides along municipal roads with non-selective total vegetation control. This method involves the application of herbicides and other chemicals onto the agency's land foliage of targeted plants. It is essential to ensure that the spray does not drift away from the target area, as this can cause damage to other plants, animals, and even humans. Applicators must consider wind speed and direction when performing precision or broadcast foliar spraying in order to reduce the risk of drift. Additionally, certain atmospheric conditions may increase the risk of drift further, so operators need to be aware of these potential risks before beginning any spraying operations.
Residual Control Soil Sterilant
Herbicides are compounds that are sprayed, spread or injected to the base of plants or, when Non-selective Herbicide is needed, to the soil. These compounds prevent growth and the establishment of vegetation. Soil Sterilant Herbicides are herbicides that can be used in a variety of applications to sterilize soil. These herbicides can be used to control weeds and other unwanted vegetation as well as for agricultural purposes such as crop production and land reclamation. They can also be used in municipal, forestry and urban areas where it is necessary to remove existing vegetation before replanting or reseeding. By using Soil Sterilant Herbicides, it is possible to create a more favorable environment for desired plants while limiting the risk of weed invasion.

Public property & roadside vegetation management are subject to several levels of environmental regulation due to potential impact on people, animals, and the environment. Herbicides, pesticides, and fertilizers used in such management are subject to various regulations that must be followed to avoid significant penalties and fines. Municipal agencies must be aware of all requirements and regulations, including any permits or licenses needed as well as record keeping and training requirements. Failing to comply with regulations or knowingly violating certain provisions could result in criminal prosecution. To minimize risks and stay in compliance, it is important to partner with a competent vegetation control contractor and practice good recordkeeping.

Request for Proposal & Herbicide Label adherence

VegClear Technicians apply herbicide to areas identified by committees and suggest using the label 'Herbicide Application Sites'. In most areas, the result is a clean, vegetation free treated property. Many areas involve the control of certain species (invasive or woody vegetation). In these areas, VegClear ensures the target species are all killed while desired species are not targeted with minimal overspray. VegClear is familiar with selecting the appropriate chemicals to be used based on location, proximity to public areas, environmental considerations, targeted species and standard commercial practices. Information is provided to the Municipal Client regarding chemical(s) to be used prior to any application. VegClear guarantees at least 96% vegetation free control in most areas where herbicide applications are performed, as evidenced by brownout, dead and dying plants, and/or by stem count. When additional kill rate is needed, return visits are included in the proposal. All comprehensive weed control programs proposed and delivered by VegClear encompass full control for an entire calendar year. This means simple outreach from the client to schedule prompt follow ups at no cost within 48 hours of the request.

Herbicide Applications for Invasive Plant Control

Proper Herbicide Applications

We specialize in providing professional and effective herbicide application services to tackle invasive plant species. Our team of expert applicators is ready to assist you in preserving and maintaining your landscape with precision and care.

An RFP (Request for Proposal) is a common process in which municipalities and corporate buyers advertise the need to control invasive plant species through strategic herbicide applications. The services that are outlined in a specific RFP may contain some of the following specifications:

Cut Stump Treatment: Controlling Non-Invasive Hardwood & Invasive Woody Species After Removal

After cutting non-invasive hardwoods or invasive woody species at ground level, crews apply an approved cut stump herbicide with a colored dye to prevent regrowth and sucker shoots. Herbicide is applied immediately after the cut, or within 30 days, following all labeled rates and manufacturer guidance.

This method is often integrated with municipal maintenance teams or paired with contractors handling mechanical removal. The treatment helps extend the results of trimming, reduce follow-up labor, and protect budgets by improving the return on mechanical clearing costs; especially along fence lines, access roads, and yard edges.

Spraying Vines During the Growing Season

Invasive vines are best controlled while actively growing. We apply herbicides labeled for the specific vine species and approved by the project manager, engineer, or procurement office. Applications follow all labeled rates and recommendations. Foliar spraying is focused within 3–4 feet of the ground, ensuring no spray exceeds 4 feet in height. Vines above that threshold are addressed as woody plants after mechanical removal is coordinated.

Spraying Invasive Grasses and Weeds During the Growing Season

Invasive grasses and broadleaf weeds are treated with herbicides labeled for the targeted species and approved by the engineer. Applications are carried out at labeled rates, ensuring compliance and effective control.

Plant Bed Maintenance Protocol

Our comprehensive approach to plant bed maintenance ensures that all areas, including walkways, patios, and parking lots, remain devoid of unwanted vegetation, such as weeds. We employ herbicides, routine treatments, spot sprays, and various other methods to effectively control and eliminate weeds. As a municipal contractor, oftentimes labeled the Landscaper, ensures clear access to the ground and ground cover by addressing out of place growth and treatment to bare ground areas.

To manage invasive growth, all beds receive thorough spraying and control measures. Service includes maintaining all unwanted bed plant growth, including areas, edges and growth over surface parking, sidewalks, and cracks & crevices. Our vegetation control services extend beyond plant beds to encompass sidewalks, property perimeters, walls, seating areas, fence lines and handrails, guaranteeing exclusion of vines, weeds, shrubbery, and the like.

In cases of inclement weather preventing service delivery, generally no invoice will be submitted unless a substantial portion of the work, equivalent to 33% or more of treatable areas, has been completed before stoppage due to the weather event. However, when the scheduled service is completed within the same month, the standard invoicing process applies.

At the conclusion of each annual maintenance cycle, the VegClear submits invoices before charging the payment card of draft account on file. Additionally, the Project Manager or a designated municipal client representative is promptly informed for inspection if requested. This meticulous protocol ensures the continuous upkeep of outdoor spaces and adherence to quality standards.
