Vegetation Herbicide Application Management

Safe. Effective. Long-Term Vegetation Control.

At Lanracorp, we provide herbicide application services that go beyond routine spraying. With over 15 years of experience in vegetation management, we design and deliver treatment programs that are safe, precise, and cost-effective—helping operators maintain compliance, protect infrastructure, and reduce long-term maintenance costs.

Our crews are fully trained, licensed, and equipped with the latest spray technology to handle everything from utility ROWs and pipelines to solar farms, industrial facilities, and large-acre sites.

Our goal is that your site is clear of unwanted vegetation and that our herbicide program actually can save money in the long run. In the industrial site world, herbicides are very much your friend when it comes to safety, labor, and cleanliness of the site.

The Benefits of Herbicide Application

Incorporating an integrated vegetation management system into your site can provide long-term benefits. A comprehensive approach will determine when to use mechanical means and when to use herbicide applications. Each area of your ROW is unique and requires a customized method for optimal results. We have the tools required to make this happen – the knowledge, the equipment, and the herbicide experience.

  • Low-growing grasses or pollinators thrive and choke out the unwanted vegetation.
  • Mowing maintenance schedules can be extended, saving you the cost of paying a contractor to perform routine mowing.
  • Selective herbicides are more effective for vegetation control in certain conditions than mechanical methods such as mowing and hand cutting.
  • Herbicides control the unwanted vegetation and regrowth and allow the wanted plants to thrive, introducing forage for habitat for wildlife on the ROW.
  • Increase populations of bees, birds, small mammals, deer, reptiles, amphibians, and beetles by utilizing selective herbicides.

Our Herbicide Services

  • Foliar Applications – Targeted treatments applied directly to plant leaves for fast, effective control of brush, weeds, and invasive species.

  • Bare-Ground Applications – Long-lasting soil-active treatments that prevent weed growth around critical infrastructure, fence lines, substations, and access roads.

  • Selective Treatments – Precision programs designed to suppress unwanted species while protecting native or desirable vegetation.

  • Broadcast & Spot Spraying – Flexible methods tailored to each site—whether wide-area coverage or small-scale targeted application is required.
  • Integrated Programs – Combining herbicide treatments with mowing, clearing, and habitat management for maximum effectiveness and sustainability.

Foliar Applications

Foliar treatments are applied directly to the leaves of actively growing plants, allowing the herbicide to be absorbed and translocated throughout the plant system.

Best suited for:

  • Annual and perennial weeds

  • Brush regrowth in ROWs

  • Invasive species suppression

Key advantages:

  • Fast-acting, visible results

  • Targeted application reduces soil exposure

  • Effective for broadleaf and woody species

Our foliar programs are carefully timed with growth cycles and weather conditions to maximize absorption while minimizing drift or off-target impact.

Bare-Ground Applications

Bare-ground treatments are applied directly to the soil to prevent vegetation from germinating or re-establishing. These applications create clean, weed-free zones around critical assets.

Best suited for:

  • Substations, tank pads, large rocked or gravel sites, and refineries

  • Fence lines and access roads

  • Rail yards, laydown yards, and industrial sites

Key advantages:

  • Long-lasting residual control (months to seasons)

  • Reduces recurring mowing and manual clearing

  • Keeps high-risk areas vegetation-free for safety and compliance

Our crews adjust formulations based on soil type, moisture, and site conditions to ensure effectiveness while protecting surrounding environments.

Equipment & Technology

Lanracorp utilizes advanced spray rigs, GPS-enabled equipment, and low-drift technology to deliver herbicides with precision. For sensitive areas, we employ backpack and spot-spraying units. All work is digitally documented using GIS mapping, giving operators full transparency and compliance-ready records.

Safety & Environmental Stewardship

Every herbicide application follows strict safety protocols and regulatory requirements. Our crews:

  • Maintain required state and federal licenses

  • Observe buffer zones near water and sensitive habitats

  • Use drift-reduction agents and calibrated nozzles

  • Monitor weather conditions in real time

  • Document all applications for compliance reporting

We design our programs not just for immediate results, but for long-term site health and sustainability.

What Does an Integrated Vegetation Management Plan Look Like?

Not every section of your ROW is the same, so don’t treat it the same. Use our targeted approach to reduce the regrowth of woody vegetation and, thus, long-term costs. Our method is the smartest, most strategic way to clear ROW. If you want to have a legitimate, long-term plan that meets your goals and budget, then give us a call.

Assess and Gather Data

Utilize vegetation drones, GIS, and walking surveys.

Build a Strategic Plan

Utilizing the data gathered, the overall mileage, and the budget, we build a strategic plan to deal with each section of ROW.

i

Establish a Long-Term Plan

This plan will look at ways to reduce the regrowth of woody plants, establish a maintenance cycle to reduce long-term costs, and establish a long-term budget for years to come.

Document and Track

All data goes into GIS so that past work is tracked and future work is planned.
