Targeted Roadside Applications

Control Growth Where Mowers Can’t Reach.

Vegetation under rails and between barrier cables creates difficult maintenance areas. Shuterra specializes in herbicide applications that address unwanted growth around barrier posts, rail lines and cable anchors.

Set the goal for each route: control a specific weed or brush problem, or manage all vegetation within a defined treatment strip. The plan follows your site and maintenance priorities.

Two Approaches. One Site-Specific Plan.

Choose the treatment objective before choosing the application.

Selective Applications

Target the Problem Vegetation

Address Johnsongrass, broadleaf weeds or woody brush with products and timing selected for the target species and desirable vegetation present.

Species-specific weed and brush treatment
Preservation of suitable grasses where appropriate
Foliar or dormant-season methods matched to the brush and site

Non-Selective Applications

Manage a Defined Barrier Strip

Control unwanted vegetation within agreed treatment boundaries beneath guardrails and around cable barrier posts and anchors.

Treatment width matched to the barrier and site
Existing growth control with residual options where suitable
Planning around slopes, drainage, nearby trees and water

A Clear Scope From Start to Finish

One application or an agreed recurring schedule, with the details established for your job.

Identify the Target

Review the route, barrier type, vegetation and intended treatment width.

Match the Method

Choose selective or non-selective treatment based on site conditions and product labels.

Coordinate the Work

Confirm access, work windows and traffic-control requirements with your team.

Document the Application

Provide GPS-verified records of what was treated, where and when.
