Question 1

My Gardner sprays weeds and fertilizes my lawn, is there a license for performing that service?

Admin · Accepted Answer

Yes, a license is required. This industry is highly regulated by the EPA and State of California. You need to make sure that the business spraying for weeds is licensed by the DPR (California Department of Pesticide Regulations). This helps to ensure your family and pet's safety. Weeds are considered a "Pest" and if someone sprays a pesticide, herbicide, insecticide or plant hormones, both the business and the people applying the chemicals need to be licensed. Ask to see their Applicator's License or Certificate License. Here is a one page PDF that has great information from the DPR titled "Is Your Maintenance Gardener Licensed?" You need to check if your maintenance gardener is licensed by DPR, if they use pesticides. That is the law. You can easily find maintenance gardener licensing information on DPR website here.
