Qualifications and Experience

Aquatic Vegetation Control, Inc. (AVC) is a twenty year old Florida corporation offering vegetation management and general environmental consulting services throughout the southeast. Since its establishment in 1986 as an exotic/nuisance vegetation management company specializing in the control of invasive wetland and upland species, AVC has broadened its scope of capabilities to include chemical mowing, certified lake management, re-vegetation, restoration services, roadside and utility vegetation management, and general environmental/ecological consulting.

AVC was founded on the basis of providing innovative and cost-effective services to public and private clients with projects that include natural resource or water management concerns. Services are provided in a professional and personal manner, such that clients are kept informed and included in each phase of a project. This interaction is achieved by providing experienced, competent professionals that function as an extension of a client's staff.

Although AVC was founded strictly as a vegetation management firm, the current senior staff has extensive experience in managing a wide variety of small and large-scale environmental projects ranging from re-vegetation to protected species inventory to plant growth regulation. In addition, the senior staff has worked together on projects for over ten years. As a result of this long-term relationship and experience, we offer our clients a proven team of environmental professionals with diverse backgrounds capable of meeting resource management and consulting needs within specified timeframes and budget.

AVC's management structure includes a QA/QC officer responsible for approving all safety programs, field procedures and reporting efforts. The QA/QC officer is also responsible for assuring that all team memebers understand the objectives of each task, have the necessary equipment to complete the task, and properly record required data. Since a wide range of procedures are available for each project, AVC staff evaluated which techniques are best under differing site (and weather) conditions.
