When You Need Zero Vegetation
Some industrial surfaces require complete vegetation control — not management, but elimination. Pipe yards, equipment laydown areas, gravel pads, and processing facility perimeters all need bare ground for safety, access, and fire prevention.
Bare ground sterilants provide season-long or multi-season vegetation control depending on the product and application rate. We use soil-active herbicides approved for industrial use under Alberta's EPEA regulations.
Important: Sterilants Are Not Suitable for All Sites
Bare ground sterilants should not be applied near water bodies, drainage paths, or areas planned for future reclamation. Our licensed applicators assess every site for suitability before application.
