Vegetation Management for Public Lands and Road Crews
Precision Weed Control for Safer Roads and Public Spaces
Managing vegetation along highways, right-of-ways, and public lands is critical to maintaining infrastructure, ensuring public safety, and preserving native ecosystems. Government agencies, municipal maintenance teams, and conservation districts require reliable, cost-effective, and environmentally responsible solutions to control invasive weeds.
GrassWorks Weed Wipers offer an innovative approach to vegetation management, applying less herbicide by delivering it directly to the targeted weeds—no drift, no drip. Used by state Departments of Transportation (DOTs), county road crews, and public land managers, our weed wipers deliver superior control while meeting environmental compliance standards.
Customer Success Stories
“We have been using the Grass Works Weed Wiper for two seasons now. It works great in our prairies wiping sumac and other brush species with triclopyr based herbicides. Mounted on a tractor front loader, we are able to raise and lower the attachment to the appropriate height and avoid getting chemical on desirable prairie species. Avoiding collateral damage is very important to us to maintain the diversity and integrity of our remnant prairies. Removing large patches of brush from our prairies with the weed wiper has allowed us to better achieve our prairie management goals.”
Why Government Agencies Trust GrassWorks Weed Wipers
A Proven Solution for Vegetation Management
Traditional spray methods often result in herbicide drift, runoff contamination, and excessive chemical use—leading to environmental concerns and wasted budget. GrassWorks Weed Wipers solve these challenges by applying herbicide only to target weeds, ensuring maximum efficiency with minimal waste.
Trusted by State and Local Agencies
The Oklahoma Department of Transportation (ODOT) has successfully implemented GrassWorks Weed Wipers for managing invasive species along state highways while significantly reducing chemical runoff and operational costs. Public agencies across the country rely on our equipment to maintain clear roadways, control invasive plants, and comply with environmental regulations.

Advantages for Road Crews and Public Land Maintenance
Public lands and transportation infrastructure require consistent, long-term weed management. GrassWorks Weed Wipers provide municipal maintenance teams with an efficient, easy-to-use alternative to broad-spectrum herbicide spraying.
Significant Cost Savings on Herbicide Use
GrassWorks Weed Wipers apply herbicide only to taller-growing weeds, allowing agencies to cut chemical costs while maximizing application efficiency. This reduces total herbicide purchases and lowers overall maintenance expenses.
