Having your lawn sprayed is a great way to keep your lawn weed-free without having to do any of the hard work yourself. A weed-free lawn needs less water, is more comfortable to walk on with bare feet, and looks better all-around.
Before your first lawn spraying in Aurora CO though, there are some basic precautions you need to take to protect things other than weeds that also call your yard home. Here are a few of those precautions to help ensure you’re properly prepared.
Protect Flowers
While those doing your lawn spraying in Aurora CO will make every effort to protect your garden areas, they can’t protect flowers if it’s not obvious they’re meant to be protected.
If you have a special flower growing in an out-of-the-way location in your yard, you’ll want to be sure to mark that flower to prevent it from being sprayed. Many flowers tend to resemble weeds, especially before they begin blooming. Don’t lose special flowers, then, and instead protect these flowers with rocks, signs, or some other obvious marker.
Protect Pets
If your pet has its own area in your yard, it’s crucial that that area is not treated with weed killer. Ingesting large amounts of treated plants could prove harmful for your pet.
Therefore, it’s important to ensure that your pets are out of harm’s way while the lawn sprayers are on your property. Additionally, it’s important to clearly set apart the portion of your yard that your pet uses so the lawn sprayers will know not to treat it.
