Weeds are an unsightly menace that have a tendency to crop up exactly where they’re not wanted. Weeds are especially problematic during the warm months of summer, when they have more access to all they need to spread rapidly.
At Ground Force, we specialize in responsible integrative vegetation management for commercial properties. We can kill weeds to maintain the beauty of your property, avoid property damage, and improve the safety of your space.
Common Invasive Weeds
There are weeds that Georgia is particularly susceptible to. The ones our Ground Force customers most frequently need help with are kudzu, Japanese honeysuckle, and privet.
Kudzu
Kudzu, known as the “vine that ate the South,” is notorious for its rapid growth – up to a foot each day! Its extensive root system poses a big challenge. Complete eradication often requires years of persistent effort. Left uncontrolled, kudzu can damage forests, power lines, and buildings, leading to significant environmental and economic impacts.
Japanese Honeysuckle
Though beautiful and fragrant, Japanese honeysuckle can quickly become a huge problem, suffocating other plants and causing structural damage. Its aggressive growth can strangle trees, damage fences, and weaken buildings.
Privet
Chinese privet is a robust shrub that can reach up to 30 feet in height. It’s known for its rapid spread and its ability to cause erosion along waterways, leading to increased flooding risks. Its removal is necessary to prevent these issues and to protect local ecosystems.
Effective Weed Control Methods
Fortunately, there are ways to deal with the persistent growth of weeds. Ground Force offers our customers a range of options for managing weeds.
Selective Herbicide Application
One of our most powerful tools is the application of our commercial-grade selective herbicides. These herbicides are able to target problematic weeds while allowing more desirable plants to continue growing. This method is effective and environmentally friendly and can be used on multiple species of weeds simultaneously.
Manual Removal
We can kill and manage all weeds, brush, and vegetation issues with various selective herbicides and we don’t need manual work to achieve this. However, sometimes manual work can be used in fall and winter to cut back dead brush and further improve aesthetics.
Long-Term Maintenance
Depending on how long weeds have been growing on your property, it may be necessary to form a long term plan for effective management. Our Ground Force team works directly with our clients to develop plans tailored to your property’s needs, taking into consideration factors like budget and scheduling.
