Keep it Clean!

Make absolutely clear to your contractor that their equipment must be clean of all plant debris when they arrive. It is very common for mower decks, truck tires, and other equipment to spread invasive plant seeds from one property to another. Keep it clean!

Ask Questions!

Do you want the contractor to use herbicide or not? Do you want them to control only certain invasive plants on your land, or only in certain parts of your land? The clearer you are on what you want, the happier you will be with the finished job. Here is a list of questions to ask potential contractors.
