Professional Herbicide Treatment in Victoria, BC

If weeds, invasive plants, or unwanted groundcovers are taking over your property—and no amount of pulling, cutting, or digging seems to work—it’s time to consider the most effective and permanent option: licensed herbicide treatment.

At Ascent Yard Care, we are fully licensed in British Columbia to apply herbicides on residential, strata, commercial, and rural properties throughout Victoria. Unlike most landscaping companies, we don’t rely on guesswork, generic sprays, or cutting alone. We offer strategic, science-based vegetation control designed to target the problem precisely, safely, and for good.

Why Choose Herbicide Treatment?

Certain invasive and persistent weeds—like English ivy, periwinkle, morning glory, Himalayan blackberry, wild rose, tansy, buttercup, clover, and bindweed—cannot be permanently removed by cutting or digging alone. In fact, these methods often cause regrowth that comes back thicker and spreads faster.

Herbicide treatments, when done correctly by a licensed provider, offer:

• Root-level eradication of invasive and aggressive species
• Targeted application with zero impact on desired plants
• Fewer repeat treatments, saving you time and money long term
• Control in hard-to-reach areas like fence lines, slopes, and gravel
• Cleaner, safer landscapes without endless weeding or cutting

Our Approach to Herbicide Application

We don’t believe in blanket spraying or overuse. Every application is:

1. Professionally Assessed

We identify the plant, assess surrounding landscape, and determine the most effective and safest strategy. Some species respond best to post-cutting treatments, others to wicking, stem injection, or spot spraying.

2. Licensed and Compliant

We are certified through British Columbia’s Pesticide Applicator Program, and we use only government-approved products, applied according to strict environmental guidelines.

3. Targeted and Minimal

We use low-volume, targeted applications with precision tools to treat only what needs to be treated—no overspray, no drift, no damage to adjacent vegetation.

4. Integrated with Restoration

Whenever possible, we combine herbicide use with manual removal, soil rehabilitation, and native plant restoration—so your property doesn’t just get cleaner, it gets better.

When to Apply Herbicide

Herbicide is most effective when plants are actively growing—typically between March and October. However, we also treat invasive winter green species year-round depending on conditions.

The sooner you intervene, the less regrowth you’ll see next season—and the less damage to your property long term.
