Some of you may have noticed a blue color around trees and/or along fence lines. This is a herbicide treatment with Round Up to help in controlling weeds in these areas.
Concerning to the fence lines: Basically I decide whether to spray the Round Up along the fence line on the golf course side of the homeowners property.
* 1st---I spray on the back side of all planters that are facing the golf course. This is a win win deal, the golf course wins because it cuts back in the amount of weed eating along fence lines saving labor for something else. The homeowner wins because the invasion of grass from the golf course is kept out of the planter beds, therefore less maintenance is required on the homeowners part.
* 2nd---I then decide if the entire fence line will be sprayed with Round Up. This is purely decided by the upkeep of the homeowners yard. If the grass looks good and the yard is kept up nicely I will usually avoid spraying along the fence line.
*3rd---Homeowners who keep up both sides of there fence lines, no Round Up application will be made. Thank You for taking pride in your back yard!!!
