Keep up the grounds work your property needs
Continue necessary mowing, pruning and cleanup. If a major job is already planned, tell WTG before application so the sequence makes sense. After treatment, the useful question is what has changed in the treated area—not whether the landscape must be left untouched.
New growth is new material
A treatment map records where application occurred on a particular date. New shoots, replacement plants and imported mulch did not necessarily receive that application, even when they occupy the same mapped area. Cutting or removing vegetation may also remove treated material. A small change does not automatically mean the entire property needs another application; describe its extent so it can be reviewed.
Coordinate construction around the finished landscape
For grading, a new patio or major planting, identify what will remain, what will be removed and where equipment will work. Discuss timing around final planting and debris removal. If a project changes a deck, fence or landscaping beside the house, include home hardening and defensible space in that design conversation; retardant treatment is a separate part of the plan.
Use the record, not residue, to understand the work
Share recognizable treatment boundaries with your grounds contractor. Komodo describes its product as colorless, with a chalky residue possible. Appearance alone is not a coverage or performance test. Keep notes about changes in irrigation and affected vegetation, and take dated photos from familiar viewpoints.
Make follow-up a focused conversation
Send WTG the location, what changed, whether cut material was removed and any work still planned. Compare the finished area with the original treatment record. If additional review or application is appropriate, confirm its boundaries, timing and price before scheduling. Keep the old and revised records together for the next caretaker.
