Why is urban weed control important?

Weeds, over the long term, can degrade urban landscapes breaking up hard surfaces and creating trip hazards, which will result in costly repair bills. Over the short term weeds cause dirt build up, trap litter, impede drainage and hamper street cleansing and highways maintenance. Well timed, targeted and effective  urban weed control prevents these problems developing.

LanGuard VM have a large team of professional people, who possess a vast experience of  urban weed control. They are highly trained, fully certificated and motivated to help you provide safer, cleaner and greener urban environments. We employ over 40 NPTC certified spray operators and two BASIS technical advisers, all are members of the BASIS Amenity Register, taking part in regular Continual Professional Development (CPD) training.

LanGuard VM have equipped our teams with the tools to carry out their tasks in a safe, effective, environmentally responsible and efficient manner. The LanGuard Footpath Sprayer is based on a Kubota Mini Tractor and fitted with a bespoke in-house spraying system that has evolved over decades of experience of urban weed control contracts. Where required our teams use knapsacks to complete contracts on foot. Urban weed control has not stood still and we have invested in innovation to meet the challenge. WeedSeeker spray heads use infra red to detect weeds and activate the nozzle. As the contractor in the Thanet Weed Project, we purchased Hoaf Thermit burners, Kersten Weed Brushes and Weedingtech MW Series with Foamstream for integrated and non-chemical urban weed control.
