Frequently asked questions about Vegetation management for driveways and bare ground.
Q. What is bare ground?
A. Any gravel or stone covered area you want to keep free of plants. You may also wish to
eliminate plants prior to landscaping or installing asphalt for driveways or sidewalks.
Q. Can you get the weeds out of my lawn and flower beds?
A. Not at this time, this service is only for driveways and areas where you want no plant
growth.
Q. What about moss and horsetail?
A. An additive for moss is included in our standard treatments however, severe infestations of horsetail may require a tailored program to get it under control. Once under control it is covered under our standard service program. Your service technician will advise you if a targeted treatment for horsetail is needed.
Q. Is it OK to walk on my lawn after treatment?
A. The materials applied are designed to affect plants before they sprout. An established lawn
or flower bed should not be affected. However, you should avoid walking on newly seeded
lawns or flowerbeds until after they have sprouted.
Q. What about pets?
A. You and your pets must stay off treated areas until they are thoroughly dry. In direct sunlight
this can be as little as one hour, in shade it can take 8 to 24 hours.
Q. How long does it take to work?
A. Typically 1 to 3 days however, at temperatures below 60 degrees plant metabolism slows
down and visible withering may not be obvious for up to 2 weeks. Even if the plants are still
green all growth should stop and some yellowing should be noticeable. The treatment
requires at least 1/2 inch of water to carry the materials deep enough into the soil where they
prevent the sprouting of new seeds. It may be necessary to water the treated areas if it
doesn't rain within 7 days of the treatment.
Q. What do I do if I find new plants following the service?
A. The products we apply are capable of controlling most common weeds and grasses however
some plants may be resistant. Also, variations in soil composition can effect the
performance. Some soils can bind the materials in place leaving them unavailable to control
plants. After two weeks if you see new growth or the plants haven't started turning brown you
should contact us for an assessment and additional treatment, at no additional cost, if
needed.
Q. How long will it last?
A. We will stand behind the performance of our service for the entire growing season (typically through the end of September).
We want you to get the most value from the services you have invested in. If you have any additional questions about the service please call us promptly.
