Weeds and Turf Establishment Update

The City is aware that the weeds are present in the project area. The City has not accepted the turf establishment as final.

A licensed contractor will begin applying herbicide to resolve weed issues in the City right of way in front of your home. This work is scheduled to occur on Thursday, 8/10. The contractor will place a notification flag or placard in your lawn soon after the herbicide application. Please remain off the treated area for 48 hours and do not water the treated area for 48 hours.

Following the herbicide application:

  • Seeding cannot occur for a couple weeks because the herbicide will prevent germination.
  • Seeding will occur before mid-September when the seed has a higher probability of germinating due to cooler temperatures.
  • City staff will continue to review the project area after the herbicide application and implement a turf establishment plan, including additional seeding, hydromulching and watering.

We’re sorry for the poor conditions and understand the turf restoration process has been frustrating. The City will continue working with the contractor to ensure the City’s specifications are met, including proper turf growth without significant weeds.
