There reallly is not a set footage that we can advise on how far to apply the TVC from desirable grasses as it depends on the root systems of the grass which will vary with the type of grass. With trees it would be at least 10 feet away when using most vegetation management products, but being grass, they have shorter roots. It might be safe to say 1-2 feet but there is no concrete answer that we provide. If in doubt, it would be best to use just a pre-emergent herbicide that would not effect the roots of desirable vegetation. Keep in mind that soil and, therefore, the active ingredient, will have more movement if the application area is on a slope.
