This treatment is ideal for any ground that you would like to see no vegetation or growth of any kind. We often see this treatment done on vacant lots, roadways, driveways, around shops, buildings, dog runs and gravel pits.
Pre-emergent herbicides are active in the top layer of soil. This treatment breaks the cycle of regrowth for new weeds by killing the seeds before they take root. The soil must remain undisturbed in order to maintain the barrier. These herbicides have a residual effect and do help prevent the regrowth of vegetation in the treated area.
The best times to schedule for pre-emergent treatments are first thing in the spring, before the weeds begin to grow, or at the end of the season before the first ground freezes. If you just want to kill the current vegetation that has grown out of the ground but not as concerned about the long term growth this treatment can also be done at anytime during the season.
Pre-Emergent
Also Known As: Bareground, Soil Sterilization, Vegetation Control
Weed Spraying
This treatment is ideal for any property that has either been infested with weeds or needing maintenance treatment to prevent the regrowth. We often see this treatment done in pastures and fields.
Herbicides can help control weeds on your property. This treatment will help keep your fields looking like those beautiful rolling pastures. It will not kill all vegetation, only the grasses and weeds that are unwanted and unhealthy for your land.
The best times to schedule for this treatment are during the spring, summer and early fall. It is important to kill weeds while they are growing and thriving. Our technicians like to be able to spray before the weeds flower and seed. This will help prevent the regrowth and the spreading of different weed species.
Common Weeds: Knapweed, Tansy, Mullein, Hawkweeds, etc.
Leafy Spurge
Leafy Spurge grows rapidly and suffocates plant life around it. The root system is very complex, comprised of vertical and horizontal roots. Vertical roots can grow past 26 feet and rhizomes (Horizontal roots) can extend 15 ft per year from the parent plant.
This weed has become very intrusive in North Idaho and surrounding areas. Kootenai County is helping regulate this weed growth by contacting property owners and requesting treatment on lots with infestations.
Leafy spurge thrives during the hot months of the summer. Most property owners contact us around July and August for treatment. Keep in mind, that because of the deep root system this is a weed that needs to be sprayed annually to keep under control.
Definition: A perennial Eurasian herb that produces a flat-topped cluster of yellow bracts bearing small flowers. An extremely aggressive noxious weed in Idaho that kills other vegetation.
Fertilization
The key to fertilizing is to treat your pasture when your grasses are doing the most growing.
We recommend waiting 10 days between herbicide treatment and fertilization application.
The best times to schedule this application are early summer and early fall when there will be some rainy days to help set the fertilizer.
Right of way
Right of Way Maintenance is extremely important in keeping our area beautiful. This treatment can be done on the sides of roadways, pathways, property boarders, parking areas and high traffic areas throughout our area. This treatment keeps these areas free from unwanted weeds and vegetation.
It is important to keep up with these treatments for safety while it also protects property values. Clearing the sides of roadways of all unwanted plant growth will help keep our roadways safe by not hindering a drivers view. By keeping walking trails, parkways and property boarders clear we can continue utilizing all of our fun recreational actives around the Northwest.
We often schedule Right of Way treatments for Home Owners Associations, Cities and parks. The best times to schedule this maintenance are early spring and early fall.

Tree Health care
Healthy trees require more than just water and pruning-they need protection from insects, disease, and enviormental stress. Our tree health care program is designed to keep your trees strong and thriving through targeted treatments that address problems both above and below the ground. We also help protect ornamental and landscape trees from wildlife damage, such as deer browsing and other animals that can strip bark, eat foliage, and stunt healthy growth.
Depending on the needs of a tree, we use a combination of soil drenches, trunk injections, and foliar sprays to deliver effective protection. Soil drenches allow treatments to be absorbed through the root system, trunk injections deliver precise products directly into the trees vascular system, and foliar sprays target pests and diseases on leaves and branches. Together, these treatments provide long-lasting protection from insects, disease, and wildlife so your trees stay healthy, resilient, and looking their best year after year.
