What is Total Vegetation Control?

Total vegetation control is a vegetation management process used to eliminate vegetation to protect the people, resources, and infrastructure of specific areas. When the vegetation in an area poses a risk for fire, infrastructure, and visibility, total vegetation control is necessary. The usual areas where total vegetation control is implemented are roadsides, airports, railroads, oil and gas stations, utility, pipelines, fence rows, storage areas, power substations, parking lots, driveways, sidewalks, as well as landscaping beds. The management process can also be used by those who wish to simply manage the vegetation on their rangeland, pastures, and wildlife openings. Total vegetation control utilizes a systemic herbicide that translocates through stems and leaves to destroy the root of the plant. As an herbicide, it is both pre-emergent and post-emergent. By using TVC, the vegetation in an area can be managed throughout the entire season. This includes managing trees, annual weeds, perennial weeds, and any woody brush in the area.

Why You Need Total Vegetation Control

When there is uncontrolled vegetation on any bare land, commercial property, or a lot, it can be problematic. Uncontrolled vegetation creates a messy and unkempt aesthetic that easily turns many people away. Not only does it look poorly, but this unruly vegetation is also known to harbor pests. By implementing total vegetation control, you can ensure that the value of your property is maintained, you are safe from potential legal troubles, and that you don’t create issues with any neighboring properties. Keep in mind that the vegetation surrounding an area is going to add to people’s impression of that area. If the area has unruly and unkempt vegetation, any customers or visitors will gain a negative impression. Through expert total vegetation control services, you can ensure a great impression and a healthy, well-kept property. Many people think that simply weeding the gravel and fenced areas surrounding their property will provide the same results as total vegetation control. However, simply pulling weeds takes a whole lot of time and effort, as well as regular, consistent maintenance. With chemical total vegetation control services, you can easily rid your property of unsightly and invasive weeds and brush without the effort and without the time.

Total Vegetation Control for Commercial Properties

Commercial properties need expert vegetation maintenance, which includes total vegetation control. Properties that undergo vegetation maintenance do not have uncontrollable vegetation surrounding the area. Instead, they provide a great first impression and a healthy outside environment through the proper care of their lawn. While there are many ways to kill the weeds and invasive vegetation that is overtaking your property, total vegetation control is the only solution that gets to the root of the matter and provides a solution. Other methods treat the surface issues that are easily seen, leaving the underlying cause of the problem. However, tvc provides a solution that puts an end to unruly vegetation. Sharp Lawn Care will be able to discover the cause of your vegetation issues to effectively treat it and ensure a beautiful, natural result. Our total vegetation control services will kill any invasive species, including those surrounding fence lines and breaking through gravel sidewalks.

When Should My Property Receive Total Vegetation Control Services?

You will want to make sure and receive your total vegetation control services at the beginning of the growing season. Once your perennial grasses and weeds begin to sprout, it’s time to have your property treated. Occasionally, you may need more than one tvc treatment to get your vegetation under control.

After you’ve received your first yearly treatment, you’ll have a better idea of your property’s needs. This will help you determine how early you need to receive your total vegetation control treatment, as well as how many times you’ll need application. Keep in mind that your ground needs to have a bit of moisture left from rain or snow to move the tvc product into the soil. At least one inch of precipitation is necessary for tvc effectiveness. If you receive tvc service too late in the spring when there is no residual precipitation, you may not gain the results that you’re looking for.
