Solar Field Maintenance
Vegetation Management & Site Services for Solar Farms
Lanracorp provides vegetation control and site maintenance services for commercial-scale solar fields. Our crews handle mowing, herbicide application, brush clearing, and access road upkeep to ensure clean, accessible, and compliant conditions throughout all phases of the project.
With a background in right-of-way and energy corridor work, we deliver field-ready execution that aligns with project schedules, environmental standards, and long-term operational needs.
COMPREHENSIVE Solar Farm SERVICES
- Lawn Mowing & Weed Control: Regular mowing and targeted herbicide applications to maintain clean, safe, and fire-preventive grounds.
- Brush Hog Mowing: Heavy-duty clearing of overgrowth around fences, access roads, and open areas.
- Remote-Controlled Mowing: Safe and effective mowing on steep, difficult terrain, or under panels where traditional equipment can’t go.
- Road Building & Maintenance: Construction and maintenance of roads for the initial build-out and installation, and after the solar field is operational.
- Site Preparation: Grading, clearing, and preparation for solar panel installation or expansion phases.
- Erosion Control & Seeding: Installation of erosion control barriers and seeding or sodding of areas needing established turf.
- Fencing Installation & Repair: Installation of fences and gates, along with full maintenance and repair services.
- Solar Panel Washing: Routine or as-needed cleaning of panel surfaces to improve efficiency and prevent buildup-related damage.
- Fence & Gate Install & Repair: Installation of new perimeter fencing and gates, plus full service repairs and upgrades.
- Vegetation Mapping & Zoning: GIS-based mapping of the solar field to identify treatment zones and align mowing and spraying schedules with growth patterns.
- Vegetation Program Design: Strategic development of full vegetation maintenance plans, including mowing frequency, herbicide selection, labor scheduling, and equipment planning.
- Post-Treatment Reporting: Documentation of mowing, spraying, and washing events with timing, zones, and outcomes for compliance and audit readiness.
Solar Construction Site Support
Lanracorp supports solar developers and EPC contractors during all phases of site construction. Our crews handle vegetation clearing, grading, access road construction, and ground stabilization in advance of racking and panel installation. We also support erosion control, perimeter fence installation, and stormwater compliance as needed. All work is performed to spec and scheduled in coordination with site leads, ensuring alignment with construction timelines and project milestones.
Smartsolar: a better approach to vegetation management
Lanracorp’s SmartSOLAR program brings structure, strategy, and efficiency to solar vegetation management. Most contractors rely on guesswork and generic cycles. We don’t. SmartSOLAR uses GIS mapping, custom herbicide planning, and seasonal scheduling to reduce costs, improve safety, and increase production.
It’s more than just service delivery. For sites without a vegetation plan, we build one. That includes treatment zones, mow frequency, herbicide selection, labor scheduling, and equipment planning. Every detail is based on the conditions of the site and the demands of utility-scale operations.
We match machines to terrain and panel layout. Wide-deck mowers handle open rows. Low-profile units work under tight arrays. Robotic mowers operate safely on slopes. The result is less labor, less disruption, and better site outcomes.
At one 6MW site in Illinois, this approach increased output by 22 percent within days. You can see how it works in the SmartSOLAR Field Maintenance Guide.
