Hard surfaces

Citizens do like a clean neighbourhood

Weeds on pavements are undesirable as they impact our living environment. They create a cluttered appearance, attract pests, and consequently have a negative effect on the living conditions of a residential area, municipality, or city. eWeeding reduces weed pressure, resulting in fewer treatments per year, saving on labor costs, and ultimately leading to a long-lasting weed-free living environment for residents. In short, it’s a win-win situation for everyone.

Case study: Parking lot TU Delft

A parking lot with a concrete pavement and interspersed cobblestones with desired image visual quality A. The weed management regime involved monthly brushing and sweeping to minimize weed residues and the accumulation of organic material. Nevertheless, depending on the weather conditions, it is extremely difficult to maintain the desired image quality year-round. At the end of August, the location was treated with the eWeeding Roller, followed by regular monitoring to visually assess the results. It can be concluded that after one application of the eWeeding Roller, the visual quality is improved for more than 2 months. If desired, dead weeds can be removed with a sweeping operation after the treatment to accelerate the improvement in visual quality

Case study: Horsetail and Dandelion – 6 months

At a location in August 2023, horsetail was found. It was subsequently treated once with eWeeding and then monitored. The horsetail was quickly brought under control and had not returned by the last check in March 2024. It can be concluded that eWeeding is extremely effective.

On the same site, a dandelion is visible on the pavement. It was well controlled until the end of 2023 but began to reappear from March 2024 onwards. The root action characteristic of eWeeding reaches a depth of 10-20 cm, and it is known that weeds with a taproot can root even deeper. This location was treated for the second time in March 2024. In total, only 2 treatments were carried out at this location from August 2023 to April 2024.

Case study: Pathway treatment 2024

A residential area was treated consistently throughout the year. In total, the team conducted five visits. Of these, only the first two treatments were considered to provide full coverage. The subsequent treatments were partial, with significantly less time spent maintaining the desired visual quality. Despite this, a significant improvement in overall quality was observed, accompanied by a noticeable reduction in complaints from residents.
