A few more items about herbicides
THE COST
TYPES OF HERBICIDES
TYPES OF HERBICIDES
The cost of spraying will take into account how long it will take to do the work, what prep work needs to be done, and how much and what type of herbicide is used. Sometimes more than one application is needed.
Herbicides are not for every property. Some properties choose to have their unwanted growth dealt with in other ways which we are open to discuss with them.
TYPES OF HERBICIDES
TYPES OF HERBICIDES
TYPES OF HERBICIDES
- Pre-emergent - Work to try and prevent weeds from ever growing.
- Post-emergent - Work to try and kill weeds that have already grown.
- Selective herbicides - kills certain plants but not others.
- Non selective herbicide - kills plants they are applied to.
GRANULAR
TYPES OF HERBICIDES
GRANULAR
There are some granular herbicides but they need to be activated by water and considering when and how much water we get from rain can affect if and when it gets activated. If can get blown out of the landscaping into areas it is not intended for and or activated when it is not needed which is pollution and wasteful spending. Granular fertilizer has a time and place for when it is / should be used and we assess each property on a case by case basis.
TIMING
WEED WACKER / LINE TRIMMING
GRANULAR
- Just because a company is large does not mean they have enough staff to do the spraying when it needs to be done.
- There is time between spraying and seeing results. Each application and herbicide will see different results and take different amounts of time for the unwanted growth to react. If unwanted growth has grown some people want immediate results by hand picking much or all of the unwanted growth and then have herbicides applied to try and kill the smaller unwanted growth but not everyone wants to pay for the time to pick by hand.
PICKING BY HAND
WEED WACKER / LINE TRIMMING
WEED WACKER / LINE TRIMMING
Unwanted growth like weeds and grass do not always get taken care of in a timely manner and sometimes playing catchup is needed.
Some people want immediate results and will pay for pulling unwanted growth by hand and then applying herbicides to kill the very small unwanted growth.
Many times, dead unwanted growth may "blow away" / disappear. Not everyone wants to wait for that to happen so spraying larger weeds or dense patches of weeds may still look ugly for some time after they die. This is why some people choose to spend the money to have larger weeds pulled by hand first.

WEED WACKER / LINE TRIMMING
Sometimes customers choose to have a line trimmer / weed wacker used to reduce the height of unwanted growth because it is less expensive than picking by hand and then have herbicides applied.
There is a risk when using a line trimmer of kicking up rocks which may break windows or put dents in things like cars or stucco. Some people are willing to take that risk.
