Southeast Woodland Services has been in the business of herbicide application for almost two decades.  Michael McCourry started Southeast Woodland Services in 1985 after being employed as a professional forester for 6 years with Boise Cascade.  Michael saw the need for an applicator that would provide quality herbicide application at a reasonable price.

Since 1985, the company has grown from three or four employees to upwards of 150 during the spray season.  The company started out primarily as a ground applicator for the forest industry but has grown into an industry leader in the low volume application of herbicides for the utility right of way market.

Southeast Woodland Services right of way program started out as limited application for a few electric cooperatives and has grown to include customers such as Georgia Power, Duke Power, and Gulf Power. 

Southeast Woodland Services currently works in the following states with a regional manager in:

All this growth can be attributed to quality herbicide application at a reasonable price, the same goal that Michael established two decades ago.

Southeast Woodland Services right of way program is based on ground applications with backpacks, which is a true "low volume" application.  This low volume approach allows for only the targeted species, i.e. hardwoods and pines, to be treated.  This type of application method has numerous advantages:

1. With low volume foliar, only the targeted species are treated.  This results in the power line retaining its green look.
2. Low volume foliar application is also extremely low profile.  No large trucks, no noisy spray devices, only professional employees with backpacks.
3. Low volume foliar also allows for a lower application cost due to the lower volume of mix being applied and is extremely effective due to the higher concentration of herbicide being applied to each individual plant.

Southeast Woodland Services guarantees our work!  We always have and always will strive for a 100% treatment, but that is not always possible.  Our standard guarantee is 95% treatment of the targeted species on the first application.  If we do not achieve 95% we will return and retreat the area to insure the results are achieved.

We also have the backing from all the herbicide manufacturers such as BASF, Dow AgroSciences, and DuPont.  They know our work and our company and will back up any applications that we make.

Quality application is Southeast Woodland Services number one goal as a herbicide applicator - and always will be!
