Cut and remove dead vegetation from perennials and prune shrubs and trees as needed 3.2.2 Rake out and remove dead leaves and litter from designated landscaped areas. 3.2.3 Re-establish edge of landscaped areas (i.e. plant materials that are growing over mow strips need to be pruned back to the inside back edge of mow strips). 3.2.4 Re-establish wood chip mulch edge of landscaped areas next to back of mow strips (i.e. any spillage of wood chips onto top of curbs needs to be removed and a 2" “V” grove edge established next to back of mow strips to allow wood chip mulch to settle into grove to a height no greater than top of mow strips). 3.2.5 Apply pre-emergence herbicide if applicable, for weed control which is approved for use in landscaped areas having established perennials, shrubs and trees (i.e. Preen or others). 3.2.6 Apply wood chip mulch to landscaped areas, two inches (2") thick minimum. One inch (1") additional to be applied as needed throughout the year to keep all soil covered. 3.2.7 Apply post-emergence herbicides if applicable and necessary and don’t allow them to come in contact with existing landscape plant materials
