Mechanical Weed Control
& Integrated Weed Management
Weeds are opportunistic plants, which will take hold on a hard surface wherever there is a build up of soil. A Weed Brush or Gravel Path renovator can remove both the offending weed and the build up of soil it is growing in.
We offer a range of tools for accomplishing this feat on different surfaces and for different applications. The best time of year for carrying out this operation is Winter, when the soil is more obvious and before the new growing season begins in spring. By removing the soil, you will dramatically reduce the new growth, especially of annual plants.
All the Weed Brushes and Gravel Path Renovators from Kersten are backed with a 2 year Warranty. You can be confident they will work hard and deliver great results for many years.

Weed Brushes
Weed brushes are designed for precise removal of weeds from various surfaces and locations, including pavements, gravel paths, concrete and kerb edges. They are particularly effective in areas with stubborn, rooted weeds and heavy detritus. The rotating bristles can reach into cracks and joints, ensuring thorough cleaning and reducing the likelihood of weed regrowth. Ideal for urban environments and residential properties, weed brushes promote a neat and well-maintained landscape.

Gravel Path Renovators
Gravel path renovators are perfect for restoring and maintaining gravel surfaces. They effectively remove moss, weeds, compacted soil, and debris that can obstruct drainage and promote weed proliferation. These tools are especially beneficial in garden paths, driveways, and other gravel areas where weed growth can detract from usability and appearance. By revitalizing gravel paths, they enhance both function and aesthetics.
Vacuum Sweepers
Vacuum sweepers are powerful tools that combine suction and brushing to collect leaves, debris, and weeds from hard surfaces. They are effective in urban settings, parking lots, and industrial areas, where heavy debris accumulation is common. Vacuum sweepers ensure a thorough clean by removing soil and organic material, minimizing the chances of weed establishment. Their efficiency in collecting waste contributes to a safer and cleaner environment.
