At S&E Ward's Landscape Management, we are committed to eco-friendly weed control practices across your entire landscape. Our approach to weed spraying considers both the aesthetics of your property and the environment. Here's why our comprehensive weed control practices benefit your landscape and the planet:
- Landscape Enhancement: Our comprehensive weed control covers the entire area, enhancing the beauty and cleanliness of your property. We ensure that no corner is left untouched, providing a polished and welcoming environment for residents and visitors.
- Environmental Responsibility: We use precision equipment and eco-friendly herbicides to minimize the environmental impact while achieving weed control. This approach helps protect nearby ecosystems, including water sources and wildlife habitats, while still effectively managing weed growth.
- Overall Well-Being: Comprehensive weed control promotes the overall well-being of your landscape. It reduces the competition between weeds and desirable plants, allowing your greenery to thrive and your hardscape to remain clear and safe.
Teammate Instructions
ENTIRE AREA — TEAMMATE INSTRUCTIONS
WHAT THIS IS
A whole-property treatment covering all outdoor surface types — this is typically a combination of multiple spraying locations treated in a single service visit.
UNIQUE CONSIDERATIONS
- Entire Area is not a product decision — it is a scope decision. You will need to apply different products and methods to different zones within the property.
- Pre-plan the treatment by walking the property and identifying distinct zones: lawn, beds, gravel, hardscape, perimeter edges, tree rings, etc.
- Product changes between zones require equipment rinsing or dedicated applicators — do not cross-contaminate.
- This is the most time-intensive treatment scope — plan for a longer service visit and communicate timeline to the client.
- Transition zones between surface types are the highest-risk areas for product misapplication — e.g., lawn edge meeting a bed, gravel meeting lawn, etc.
PRODUCT RESTRICTIONS
- Each zone within the property requires its own product selection per that zone's term instructions — see Lawn, Landscape Beds, On Gravel, Driveway, Tree Rings, etc.
- Do not use a single non-selective product across the entire property unless every surface is hardscape or bare ground.
- Rinse equipment between product changes — especially when switching between selective and non-selective herbicides.
ENVIRONMENTAL & LEGAL FLAGS
- All environmental rules from the individual zone terms apply — Entire Area does not override or simplify any location-specific restrictions.
- Colorado CDA requires spray records to document each product and treatment area separately, even when applied on a single visit.
FIELD RULES — DO
- Walk the property first — identify all zones and plan your product sequence.
- Treat zones in logical order: start with selective products (lawn), then directed products (beds, tree rings), then non-selective (hardscape, gravel).
- Rinse equipment between product changes.
- Document each zone's treatment separately in your spray record.
- Communicate the full re-entry interval for the entire property (longest REI of any product used).
FIELD RULES — DO NOT
- Do not apply a single product to the entire property unless directed by supervisor.
- Do not skip the property walk — Entire Area requires pre-planning.
- Do not forget to rinse equipment between zone changes.
RECORD-KEEPING NOTES
Document each zone treated, product used per zone, application method, and any zone-specific notes. The spray record for an Entire Area job should effectively be multiple records — one per zone. Note overall property square footage and breakdown by zone if possible.
