Precautions with Weed Control

Grounds Services, Inc. receives many calls throughout the growing season in regards to weed control and any precautions that need to be made for them, their families, or their pets.

After a technician applies the product, stay off the lawn and keep your pets or children off the lawn for 1/2 - 1 hour. The goal is to wait for the product to completely dry and the plant to take it in. Once the product is dry, it is safe to play on the grass and mow your yard as desired.

Controlling Weeds in Flower Beds

Because liquid weed control targets broadleaf plants, it is not the product to use on flower beds. In early spring start by hand-pulling the weeds from the flower beds, making sure to also get the roots out. Once completed, follow up your beds with an application of Preen and 2”-3” of mulch. To keep control, reapply the preen once every 2 months. At the start of the next season, work the previous years mulch into the soil and add a new layer in spring.
