Finally: A Simple, Effective Way to Manage Commercial Vegetation

You’ve probably been handling your commercial grounds maintenance the same way for years:

Weed whack the overgrowth. Spray weak consumer-grade products. Watch it grow back in two weeks. Repeat forever.

But what if there was a better way?

At Ascent Yard Care, we offer a smarter, industrial-grade solution—Commercial Vegetation Management that solves the problem at the source.

No fighting a losing battle. No recurring monthly labor costs.

Just bare ground, clear access, healthy turf, and guaranteed compliance.

What We Offer: Complete Commercial Vegetation Control

We don’t just mow the tops off.

We don’t use "mow-and-blow" tactics.

We don’t leave you with a bill for work that needs to be redone in 14 days.

Instead, we apply industrial strategies tailored to your specific liability zones:

• Lot Sterilization: We apply soil sterilants and pre-emergents that keep parking lots, storage yards, and driveways 100% bare ground.
• Clearance Pruning: We structurally prune trees to ensure clearance for fire trucks, delivery vehicles, and waste management access.
• FireSmart BC Compliance: Insurance renewals are getting tougher. We align your property with provincial guidelines by creating a "Non-Combustible Zone" around your structures. We remove combustible vegetation (like cedar hedges and dried broom) and ladder fuels to satisfy insurers and reduce fire risk**.**
• Perimeter Security: We clear vegetation from fence lines and foundations to prevent pest entry, fire hazards, and structural decay.
• Land Abatement: We reclaim overgrown or neglected land to meet municipal bylaws and avoid citations.
• Complete Invasive Plant & Weed Eradication: We treat every level of growth on your property, from delicate ornamental beds to industrial hardscapes. Hardscapes and gravel; bare ground, zero weeds in cracks or gravel. Lawns and turf; selective weed control that works. Kills dandelion and buttercups, improves grass. Garden beds; weed free beds without paying for hand pulling. Noxious invasives; certified eradication of knotweed, bamboo, blackberry, morning glory, horsetail, ivy. Root kill so it stays gone.

Within weeks, the chaos is gone. Access is restored. Compliance is achieved. We are your one-stop shop for all unwanted vegetation

This Is Not "Landscaping"

Most commercial maintenance contracts fail because they treat industrial scale problems like a lawn—cutting them down only to have them spring back stronger.

With our Integrated Vegetation Management (IVM) approach:

• Gravel remains gravel (no organic matter buildup)

• Sightlines remain open (improved security and safety)

• Foundations remain clear (reduced rodent, fire and moisture issues)

• Land remains manageable (invasive plants gone)

• And you get a guarantee that backs it up

But What About the Debris?

Great question. You might be thinking:

“If you clear the perimeter and cut the trees, am I left with a mess?”

No.

Unlike basic maintenance crews, we handle the full lifecycle of the removal.

For Clearance Pruning, we haul away all limbs immediately. Your fire lanes and gates are instantly accessible.

For Weed Control, we utilize systemic treatments that cause weeds to wither and die. For heavy overgrowth, we perform a "cut and spray" to leave the site manicured immediately.

This isn’t a seasonal trim.

It’s a site reset.

What Happens If You Work With Us?

1. You contact us. Quick response. Professional commercial quoting.
2. We assess. We identify liability risks (fire, clearance, invasive plants, visibility) you might have missed.
3. We execute. One professionally equipped crew. On time, insured, and safety-compliant.
4. The Guarantee. If weeds break through our treated gravel zones within the guarantee period, we re-treat for free.
5. You’re done. No monthly weeding bills. No complaints from tenants about parking lot weeds. No fire marshal citations. No warnings from bylaw.

The growth is gone. The access is clear. And your budget is protected.

Why Not Just Use Your Regular Landscaper?

Regular landscapers are great for mowing grass and planting flowers—but they lack the licensing and equipment for industrial vegetation control.

Paying a landscaping crew to pull weeds, cut overgrowth, and prune trees is the most expensive way to manage land.

• It takes longer
• The proper job is not done all at once, if at all
• It encourages regrowth

Our method is:

• Cost-Effective: One treatment lasts months, not weeks.

• Safer: Zero risk of flying rocks from trimmers hitting tenant vehicles.

• Liability-Focused: We understand municipal bylaws and fire codes.

You don’t need a gardener.

You need a vegetation manager.

This Is the End of Your Grounds Maintenance Headaches

We get it—managing a commercial property is a juggling act. You don't have time to chase vendors about the same patch of weeds or the same tree hitting the delivery truck.

That’s why we guarantee our results.

If you’ve been dealing with a neglected lot, a complaining strata council, or a looming fire inspection—just reach out.

We’ll show you a better way.
