WEED CONTROL
START A TURF WAR
Weed problems are universal. Weeds choke out desirable grass, decrease visibility on highways, increase storm water drainage and hinder access to work sites. Sure, you could mow or weed eat, but how often would you have to, and would it really get rid of the problem?
Edko got its start in traditional herbicide treatments back in the 60s. Our customers have ranged from individual homeowners to investor-owned utilities, to cities and counties. All of our customers have one thing in common. They have a problem and we have a solution.
It’s true – other companies boast the same solution, but there’s a reason that we’ve retained contracts for as long as 40 years and customers that changed contractors in the past have come back. It’s our quality of work, our reputation of saying “yes”, our customer relationships and most of all, our people.

WE SEE WEEDS IN YOUR FUTURE
Weeds are like door-to-door salesmen. They come at inconvenient times, they’re hard to get rid of and you’ve either got to spend money to get them to leave you alone or you have to ignore them. The big difference between the two is that you know when weeds are coming. They’ve been coming in at the same time every year for as far back as anyone can remember.

PREVENT AN UPRISING
For most of us, weeds aren’t really a problem during the colder months. Sure, you’ve got a few winter annuals popping up on your roadside, but your grass is dormant and the winter weeds will disappear when the heat comes back.

IN BID TROUBLE?
If you were to bid out sweeping the floor of your home, it’d be pretty easy to write out the specifications. The bid would specify an able-bodied person, a broom, a dustpan and the time that you’d like the sweeping to be complete. Easy, right?

STOP WEEDS DEAD IN YOUR TRACKS
The railroad industry has enough moving pieces as it is. You’ve got the trains themselves, other motorists, the mechanics of the tracks, signals and those pesky kids stretching anything metallic on the rails.

BARE IN MIND
Most people view a bare ground herbicide application as something relatively hard to screw up. Mix chemical; spray rocks, right?
