Parking Lot Cracks

PARKING LOT CRACKS — TEAMMATE INSTRUCTIONS WHAT THIS IS Targeted herbicide application specifically to cracks and expansion joints in asphalt or concrete parking lots. This is precision crack treatment — not general parking lot perimeter or area treatment. UNIQUE CONSIDERATIONS - This is the same location category as Parking Lot, but with a narrower focus — crack-and-joint treatment only. Review the Parking Lot term for broader context. - Crack treatment on impermeable surfaces means every drop of product that misses the crack sits on the surface and runs off — precision matters more here than almost any other location. - Vehicle traffic can spread wet product across the lot surface — timing relative to traffic flow is important. - Expansion joints in concrete lots are wider and deeper than asphalt cracks — they may require different application volume. - Some parking lot cracks are structural — if weeds have lifted or displaced pavement, note that for the property contact. PRODUCT RESTRICTIONS - Non-selective herbicide with residual activity is standard for parking lot cracks. - Use a crack-and-crevice or pinpoint applicator tip — no flat fan on crack treatment. - Apply at minimum effective volume — excess product on impermeable surfaces runs off. - Do not use oil-based carriers on asphalt surfaces. ENVIRONMENTAL & LEGAL FLAGS - All parking lot crack treatment environmental rules from the Parking Lot term apply here. - Storm drain proximity is the primary environmental concern — crack treatment runoff on impermeable surfaces travels directly to storm drains. - Do not apply immediately before forecast rain. FIELD RULES — DO - Use a crack-and-crevice or pinpoint applicator tip. - Apply directly into the crack at low volume. - Identify storm drain locations before starting. - Time application for low-traffic periods. - Note any structural pavement damage caused by weed growth. FIELD RULES — DO NOT - Do not use a flat fan tip for crack treatment. - Do not apply excess product that pools on the surface. - Do not spray before forecast rain. - Do not apply while vehicle traffic is actively crossing the treatment area. RECORD-KEEPING NOTES Document lot surface type (asphalt/concrete), application method (crack tip), product and rate, storm drain proximity, and weather conditions. Note any structural damage observed.
