Total Vegetation Management for Oakwood, GA Warehouse Development

Commercial Weed Control Success for Moeller Purcell Construction of Alpharetta, GA

Property Location: Hall County, GA | Project: Industrial Weed Control Overview

Moeller Purcell Construction engaged VegClear for total vegetation control at an industrial park development in the City of Oakwood, GA (Hall County), about an hour north of Atlanta’s Central Business District & ATL Airport. The site, in proximity to the master planned Oakwood Industrial Park in nearby Flowery Branch, GA, was slated for warehouse development. Challenges were front and center due to the site being covered in thick, untamed, vegetation, including broadleaf & grassy weeds, kudzu, & woody brush. Key areas for weed control treatment included the property’s buildable center pad, the site perimeter, two roadside drainage ditches, County right-of-way & utility easements, & open areas of unchecked growth. The objective was to chemically clear the land of all vegetation (including annual grasses and undesirable perennial weeds) & prevent regrowth of invasives, in preparation for grading, landscaping, & eventual sod installation per the client’s landscape plans.

Overgrowth Challenges & Herbicide Control Strategy

Excessive Overgrowth: Vegetation present was up to 5-7 feet tall on the industrial parcel, including thick brush & weeds. Techs hand applied herbicides with truck mounted & backpack sprayers, ensuring control without negative effects on future warehouse development plans.

Strategic Tree Preservation: VegClear saved several 1-2” caliper volunteer oaks & pines, candidates for relocation along the property’s perimeter tree save zone, included in the commercial development’s land use design.

Herbicides Target Both Foliage & Roots

Approach: The goal was to provide quick control of invasive species & dense overgrowth through a two-phase process:

Initial Spray Application: VegClear applied a mix of non-selective & selective liquid systemic herbicides designed to target both foliage & roots, with a focus on burn-down & minimizing regrowth. The treatment targeted kudzu, dallisgrass, & Johnson grass—known to threaten native landscapes in the Southeast.

Follow-Up Inspection & Treatment: A scheduled touch-up one month later addressed any breakout growth & remaining patches that survived the initial blanket spray, ensuring total control across the site.

Installed landscape strip in which to plant trees which is the least complicated to implement with existing space available for planting and allows some concrete around the immediate area

Environmental Sensitivity: Expert herbicide selection by VegClear management accounted for proximity to water bodies, site topography, & nearby non-commercial property uses. Root-active foliar & systemic herbicide tank mix initiated immediate control while leaving no soil residual impact, ensuring compatibility with future planted material on the North Georgia development site.
I.V.M. Considerations

  • VegClear tasked with Total Vegetation Control across entire site.

  • Neighboring Industrial Warehouse user had established turfgrass and weed killer treatments needed to remain contained on site.

  • Hand applied precision applications using minimal concentrations of herbicide active ingredients ensured safety, confidence, & the eventual health of future landscape installation.

  • Strategic native tree preservation was integrated into professional weed spraying effort.

  • Site was delivered development ready, for grading, poured concrete, native trees, & sod installation.

Total Vegetation Control Solutions

After VegClear’s quick acting ‘burn down’ (a.k.a. ‘brown out’) weed spray treatments, the site was successfully controlled and ready for grading, with close to zero regrowth. Invasive species have been eliminated or significantly reduced below an acceptable threshold, & no weed issues remained after VegClear’s dual spray treatment program. The treatable areas were left clean, clear of vegetation, & ready for the next phase of industrial development. With VegClear’s strategic utilization of selective and non-selective herbicides, & a firm commitment to follow-up inspections, the client can move forward with grading & landscape install with the confidence in the long-term value that industrial weed spraying contributed to their commercial property.
Treat a minimum of 10 feet of clearance in front of the transformer and 4 feet on the other sides when applying herbicide. Control hard, woody plants and Avoid planting bushes or trees with hard, woody stalks within 8 feet of the transformer. Never dig near a pad-mounted transformer

Successful Outcome of Expert Vegetation Management

The Team of Moeller Purcell Construction achieved a desired clean slate to begin their industrial development work, with the property’s invasive vegetation fully controlled, no longer impeding economic growth at this Hall County Industrial Site.

It is a locked steel cabinet mounted on a concrete pad that contains a securely grounded, energized connection for one or more customers. These transformers are used with underground distribution lines at each property to step down the primary voltage on the line to a lower voltage used on the customer’s site
