What's Driving Weed Control Demand in Louisiana
Weed control in parts of Louisiana means dealing with more than the usual crabgrass and clover, thanks to cogongrass, a federally regulated noxious weed first found in the state in Washington Parish back in 1990 and since spread across most of the southeastern parishes and into some western and central areas as well. Cogongrass forms dense, fast spreading patches that crowd out grass and other plants entirely, burns hot enough to pose a real fire hazard, and is notoriously difficult to eliminate with a single treatment, usually requiring repeated mechanical and chemical control applied over more than one season to fully knock it back. Ordinary lawn weeds still need their own seasonal pre-emergent and post-emergent treatment on top of that, but a state level noxious weed problem like cogongrass is the kind of thing that separates weed control in Louisiana from routine lawn weed management elsewhere.
Licensing in Louisiana: Louisiana does not regulate basic yard work such as mowing, edging, and hand weeding beds, so no license is required for that kind of routine service. However, anyone paid to do landscape work beyond basic yard work, including bed preparation, plant or sod installation, fertilizing, shrub pruning, or giving professional advice on plant selection and placement, must hold a Landscape Horticulturist License issued by the Louisiana Horticulture Commission, a division of the Louisiana Department of Agriculture and Forestry. Getting licensed requires passing a commission exam and paying an exam fee plus an annual license fee. That distinction between unlicensed routine mowing and licensed design or installation work runs through most of the services covered on this page.
