Prerequisite Notes

Before attempting to eradicate horsetail in your Pemberton yard, it's essential to understand the challenges associated with this invasive plant. Horsetail (Equisetum arvense) is a perennial plant that can be difficult to eliminate due to its extensive root system and ability to reproduce through spores. Ascent Yard Care, a trusted landscaping company in Vancouver Island and the Lower Mainland, has extensive experience in invasive plant eradication, including horsetail.

Step 1: Assess the Infestation

Time Expectation: 1-2 hours

The first step in eradicating horsetail is to assess the extent of the infestation. Walk through your yard and identify areas where horsetail is present. Take note of the density and spread of the plants, as well as any other factors that may affect the eradication process, such as soil type and moisture levels.

Step 2: Prepare the Area

Time Expectation: 1-2 hours

Before applying any treatments, prepare the area by removing any debris, weeds, or other vegetation that may interfere with the eradication process. This will also help to prevent the spread of horsetail spores.

Step 3: Choose the Right Herbicide
