  DOTs and WeedEnder    
       
 
 

Thirteen years ago we had our first department of transportation use of the WeedEnder® Vegetation Control System under guardrails to help in their fight against unwanted vegetation. The DOTs, noticing how well the material worked in the telco industry around pedestals, wanted to test it on long runs of highways for beautification, labor savings, increased visibility, and safety for drivers. Today, DOTs across the country are still using this environmentally safe material to keep their roads, waterways, and drivers safe while keeping their guardrails, cable barriers (aka: guard cable or cable rail), and signs clear of weeds.

    Safe for the Environment & Safe for YOU  
   

Environmental hazards of erosion and poisonous run-offs are obstacles that face the roadside maintenance industry every day. In the past it has been difficult to control unwanted vegetation without harming the environment – until now.

U-TECK's WeedEnder products are an environmentally friendly, 100% recycled fiber material. This mat material deprives vegetation of sunlight while allowing water and nutrients to easily pass through to maintain the root system around the mat, minimizing erosion, while controlling growth where it is needed without potentially dangerous herbicides.

U-TECK is a proud manufacturer of earth and people friendly products.
