Flashlights

Color signals purpose on a job site: crews assign colors to mark boundaries, hazards, trees to save or remove, and utility locations. While some color conventions are widespread, the meaning is set by the crew or project, so confirm the legend before working. Consistent color coding prevents costly mistakes like removing the wrong tree.

Standard flagging tape is durable plastic that stays put for long-term marking. Biodegradable flagging tape breaks down over time, so it is the right choice for temporary marking where retrieval is impractical and you do not want plastic left in the landscape. Choose by how long the marks need to last and whether cleanup is feasible.

Standard vinyl flagging tape holds up for months of sun and weather, though UV exposure eventually fades colors and weakens the material. For marking that must read clearly over a long project, refresh faded tape. Biodegradable tape is designed to degrade sooner by design, so match the product to the timeline.

Flagging tape is thin ribbon for tying to branches, stakes, and equipment to mark points and boundaries. Barricade tape is wider and printed to cordon off hazard areas and control access. Flagging marks and identifies; barricade warns and excludes. Crews often carry both for different parts of the same job.

Use high-visibility colors that contrast with the surroundings, and tie tape at eye level on prominent branches rather than low where foliage hides it. Glo or fluorescent colors read better in shade and low light. Longer streamers catch the eye and movement better than short tabs in thick vegetation.

Yes. Flagging tape is stocked by the case and in multi-roll quantities across colors, with volume pricing by quote. Crews that mark routinely go through tape quickly, so ordering a range of colors in bulk keeps the truck stocked for whatever a job's color coding requires.
