Bareground and Right-of-Way

Specializing in TVC (Total vegetation Control) for Utilities, Big Goat works with utility vegetation managers to create chemical control strategies that can help achieve and maintain bareground and Right-Of-Way results where vegetation control is required. These management practices will reduce re-treatment expenses and alleviate concerns about weed infestations that can harbor unwanted wildlife, as well as trees and other miscellaneous growth that may interfere with power poles and lines, potentially causing damage or requiring equipment and infrastructure maintenance. Let Big Goat take care of your TVC so you can focus on all the other projects on the to do list. 

Bareground

Big Goat employs premium blended products to apply a concentrated mixture that effectively controls grasses and herbaceous vegetation throughout the growing season. Our technique and products are recognized as the industry's premium methodology. No project site is too large or small - depending on site specifications, we provide backpack or on-foot spraying, UTV/ATV boom spraying, or large tank truck boom spraying – ensuring we have the capability to accomplish the task proficiently. Our Bareground program guarantees no weed is left behind, offering a comprehensive one-time treatment with a follow-up of spot treatment if needed.

Utility Herbicide Right-of-Way Service

Our Right-of-way program is based on ground applications with backpacks, which is a true “low volume” application. This low volume approach allows for only the targeted species, i.e. hardwoods and pines, to be treated. This type of application method has numerous advantages:

• With low volume foliar, only targeted species are treated. This results in the power line retaining its desired green look.

• Low volume foliar application is also extremely low profile. No large trucks, no noisy spray devices, only professional employees with backpacks.

• Low volume foliar also allows for a lower application cost due to the lower volume of mix being applied and is extremely effective due to the higher concentration of herbicide being applied to each individual plant.

By their nature, utility ROWs (Right Of Ways) transect natural areas, roadways, and private property. These areas require routine maintenance to ensure safe passage and easy access. To meet these goals, one of the most economical maintenance practices is herbicide application. Applying herbicides to ROW areas can be done in numerous ways based on what is best for the specific customer and the environment.
