Specialist Weed Control

Natural Area can assist with specialist weed control services, provide advice and make recommendations for control and removal of highly invasive weeds and weeds of national significance. Our herbicide technicians are trained professionals and can consult on-ground.

Our Weed Control Services

  • Contract Weed Control

    We provide annual contract weed control for a range of Clients, including Local Governments across the Perth Metropolitan Region. This targeted approach reduces weed cover over time, helping native plants thrive.

  • Weed Survey

    We identify, map and assess the weed species present on-site to develop the most effective treatment plan. Our weed surveys, conducted at various times throughout the year, help determine the full range of species and allow us to prioritise treatments based on infestation levels and invasiveness.

  • Boom Spraying

    Using specialised boom equipment on 4WDs, trucks, and ATVs, we apply herbicide to large, heavily infested areas like agricultural land, fire-breaks, and revegetation sites, ensuring thorough coverage with minimal risk of off-target damage.

  • Grass Weeds

    Non-native annual and perennial grasses can be difficult to control, especially when growing in proximity to native plants. Natural Area use site specific techniques to control and eradicate grasses, taking into consideration herbicide-resistance, community consultation, Client and environmental needs.

  • Woody Weeds

    Woody weeds require a specialist approach for control and eradication. Natural Area can treat various woody weeds including non-native trees such as Japanese Pepper Tree, Flinders Range Wattle and Fig Trees, large fibrous species such as Typha and Giant Reed and woody shrubs such as Castor Oil Plant and Blackberry.

  • Handweeding

    Hand weeding is often required in sensitive areas where herbicide cannot be used or where access is limited. Natural Area can provide handweeding teams to manually remove and dispose of weeds, ensuring minimal environmental impact.
