Professional Herbicide Treatment on South Vancouver Island

Some plants won’t listen to pulling, cutting, or even digging. Whether it’s ivy that keeps coming back, dandelions invading your lawn, or invasive blackberry taking over your fence line—sometimes, the only way to truly stop the spread is with licensed herbicide treatment.

At Ascent Yard Care, we are fully licensed in British Columbia to apply herbicides for targeted vegetation control on residential, strata, commercial, and rural properties. Our approach is careful, legal, and highly effective—designed to eliminate invasive and persistent weeds at the root without damaging the surrounding landscape.

Why Herbicide Treatment Matters

Herbicide treatments are not about spraying everything in sight. When used correctly, herbicides can:

• Permanently stop invasive plant regrowth
• Target specific species without harming grass or ornamentals
• Reduce the need for repeated manual labor
• Treat areas where digging is impossible or unsafe
• Prevent long-term spread and seed production

The key is knowing how, where, and when to apply it—and being legally licensed to do so.

We’re Licensed for Herbicide Use in BC

Most landscaping companies are not legally authorized to use herbicides in British Columbia. We are.

That means:

• We use approved, regulated products
• Applied by trained, certified technicians
• With full safety protocols and environmental compliance
• No overspray, no guesswork, no shortcuts

Whether it’s on your lawn, in your garden, on a slope, or around structures—we know how to use herbicide safely and effectively.

What We Treat with Herbicide

• Invasive ground covers (e.g. periwinkle, ivy, lamium, herb robert)
• Lawn weeds (e.g. buttercup, clover, dandelion, plantain)
• Shrubby invasives (e.g. Himalayan blackberry, wild rose, tansy)
• Regrowth after mechanical clearing
• Weeds in gravel, paths, and driveways
• Fence lines and perimeters
• Overgrown lots and hard-to-access areas

How Our Herbicide Service Works

1. On-Site Assessment

We identify the plant species, extent of infestation, and proximity to sensitive plants or structures. Then we create a custom treatment plan.

2. Targeted Application

We apply herbicide via spot spraying, stem wicking, or injection, depending on the plant and environment. This ensures maximum impact with minimal risk.

3. Timing Matters

We treat plants during their active growth cycle, when they are most vulnerable and likely to absorb the herbicide into their root systems for permanent control.

4. Optional Follow-Up

Some invasive species require a second treatment weeks or months later. We track timing and offer optional monitoring to ensure the issue is fully resolved.
