Noxious Weeds Control Program-2024
Timber Ridge Lot Owners,
It’s that time again!
May 2024
Time to spray the noxious weeds, they’re starting to grow. We have a few aggressive weeds in our neighborhood that can get out of control in a short period of time. (See details below) Please remember that each lot owner is responsible for weed control on their property. You can do this yourself or hire someone. Your property will never be free of weeds unless those around you treat their land as well. Please spray/control for noxious weeds on your property all the way to the street, including the right of way.
CTRMD has hired Chris Edwards with Cut Below Lawn Care to spray noxious weeds on Timber Ridge common property, mow grass and other handyman needs. Chris’s contact number is 970-764-0789 if you would like to hire him to spray your weeds or other lawn care/handyman needs you may have.
Colorado’s Timber Ridge Metro District(CTRMD) provides lot owners with free herbicide for spraying noxious weeds. You will receive 2, 4-D herbicide with a Surfactant Premier 90. Please see attached file with Label and Instructions. You can get them from Kim Kron by texting Kim at 970-585-4402 . Please bring two small plastic bottles to put the chemicals in. They are concentrated and must be mixed with water in a pump sprayer. (Please TEXT Kim no phone calls please)
We need Volunteers to spray the right of way on our streets. If you are interested in Volunteering please contact Bob Milford
bm***********@gm***.com or 281-467-2379
We will have a short noxious weed eradication training and give out herbicide on 9:00am Thursday, May 30th. Meet at the clubhouse at 9:00am. Please bring two small plastic bottles to put the chemicals in or your sprayer.
Some of you may not be familiar with the noxious weeds that grow in our neighborhood. The weeds that we are mostly concerned with are Thistle, Common Mullein, Yellow Toadflax (Butter and Eggs), Leafy Spurge and Curly Dock. See links below for more information on each species.
