I'm planning to sow some grass seed soon. Lawn was ruined by builders about a year ago. I killed what was left of it and dug it over with a fork about 6 weeks ago. A lot of superficial roots were exposed. I now need to apply more weedkiller before sewing grass seed about a week later. I presume there's no danger of damaging my trees by spraying weedkiller on the roots?

Thanks.
