Invasive Species Control

What This Service Involves

Regulated noxious weeds and aggressive invasives spread quickly across public open space and carry legal control obligations. Our crews implement mechanical, manual, and integrated control methods matched to each target species and site sensitivity. We time treatments to each plant's vulnerable growth stage and document treated areas for county noxious-weed compliance. Repeat visits address regrowth and prevent reestablishment.

Benefits

Meets county noxious-weed control obligations; targets treatments to each species' vulnerable stage; protects native plant communities from displacement; documents treated areas for compliance reporting

Our Process

1) Identify and map target species with staff or a specialist; 2) Select control methods and treatment timing; 3) Treat infestations at the effective growth stage; 4) Schedule follow-up visits and document results

What Affects the Cost

Infested acreage and species mix; control methods and site sensitivity; number of treatment cycles required; disposal of removed material; compliance documentation needs

Best Time of Year

Treatments are timed to each species' growth cycle, with many invasives best controlled in spring and early summer.
