Keep your landscape weed-free with professional soil sterilant treatments. Our long-lasting solutions prevent unwanted plant growth and maintain clean outdoor spaces.
Weeds are more than just unsightly; they compete for resources, damage infrastructure, and create unnecessary maintenance headaches. At Tatum Lawn Care, we specialize in soil sterilant applications designed to provide long-term vegetation control for residential, commercial, and industrial properties throughout Moses Lake and the surrounding region.
If you’re tired of pulling weeds or constantly spraying herbicides, soil sterilization is your permanent solution for stopping weeds before they start.
Soil sterilization is the process of applying a potent chemical solution (known as a soil sterilant) to stop all plant growth in a treated area. Unlike traditional herbicides that target existing weeds, soil sterilants create a residual barrier in the soil that prevents seeds from germinating. This makes it ideal for areas where you want absolutely no plant growth, such as gravel driveways, fence lines, storage yards, and utility pads.
Tatum Lawn Care uses professional-grade sterilant formulations that are safe when applied correctly and deliver lasting results, from several months to multiple years depending on the site and treatment used.
Unlike contact herbicides that kill weeds on the surface, soil sterilants penetrate the soil to block seed germination. This results in a clean, weed-free surface for an extended period, reducing the need for repeated treatments.
Say goodbye to weekly spraying, trimming, or pulling weeds. Soil sterilization drastically reduces vegetation regrowth, saving time, labor, and money over the course of the season.
Invasive weeds and grasses can cause cracks in asphalt and concrete, destabilize gravel surfaces, and even damage foundations. By eliminating plant growth, soil sterilants help preserve the integrity of driveways, sidewalks, parking lots, and building foundations.
Nothing detracts from curb appeal like weeds sprouting through gravel or around buildings. Soil sterilization helps you maintain a clean, professional appearance, perfect for business properties, apartment complexes, and industrial sites.
Some places are simply difficult to maintain regularly; think fence lines, utility boxes, or perimeter paths. Soil sterilization is perfect for these spots because one treatment delivers months (or years) of results.
Tatum Lawn Care offers soil sterilant treatments for a wide variety of surfaces and property types. Our services are fully customizable depending on the location, soil conditions, and your specific weed control goals.
Gravel lots can quickly become overrun with weeds. Soil sterilant treatment ensures clean, low-maintenance surfaces perfect for homeowners, contractors, and businesses.
Weeds popping through cracks in pavement create safety hazards and detract from your property’s look. Sterilization keeps these areas pristine and weed-free.
From warehouse loading docks to commercial storage yards, we help businesses maintain a professional environment by eliminating overgrowth in critical outdoor areas.
Vegetation growing along fences and around buildings can hide pests and create fire risks. Our treatments create a clean perimeter that reduces liability and fire load.
Soil sterilants are an excellent solution for pump stations, transformer boxes, communication equipment pads, and other utility installations.
At Tatum Lawn Care, we don’t just apply a one-size-fits-all treatment. We follow a careful process to ensure your soil sterilant application is safe, targeted, and effective for your specific property.

We carefully adjust the amount applied depending on surface type: gravel, concrete, bare soil, or rock beds.
After treatment, we monitor results and can offer follow-up services if necessary. Our team is available to:
Soil sterilant applications are perfect for:
If you have gravel driveways, rock beds, or pathways where weeds constantly pop up, we’ll help eliminate the issue with one long-lasting treatment.
Apartment complexes, HOAs, and commercial properties benefit from soil sterilization by cutting down on monthly maintenance needs and improving aesthetics.
For hard-to-reach or hazardous areas where vegetation needs to be completely removed, soil sterilants are the gold standard in vegetation control.
Barnyards, storage pads, and fencing around agricultural buildings can be sterilized to reduce fire hazards and improve accessibility.
The duration of effectiveness depends on the sterilant used and the site’s conditions. Most treatments last from 6 months to over a year, with some commercial-grade products lasting up to 3 years under the right conditions.
We’ll help you choose the right product based on your budget, property type, and weed control goals.
