  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.  

•  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.

 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.  

Each herbicide has a different amount of time till it can be "walked on".  This information can be found on the label on the bottle it came in which can sometimes can also be found on the internet.    Applicators should know this information.

• The time frame for spraying is pretty small.  Just because a company is large does not mean they have enough staff to do the spraying when it needs to get 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.

 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.

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 so there is a risk there some people are willing to take.  Many times hand pulling removes more of the unwanted growth that can be seen.

 This carries a small amount of material when compared to the other methods.  

This typically carries more material than a hand sprayer but less than truck mounted.

 This type of set up typically carries more material than other options but can not access certain areas.
