Generally, when tank mixing various herbicides, you should refer to all product labels for tank mixing restrictions, and follow the most restrictive label limitations for each of the products being used in the tank mix. If mixing is not prohibited on the labels, you should then make a small jar test for compatibility purposes before mixing a full tank.
Keep in mind that Dimension 2EW, being a pre-emergent herbicide, should be activated by 1/2" or more of rainfall or irrigation after the application, whereas the Gordons Ornamec should be applied to dry grass when no rainfall is expected in the next 24 hours. For this reason, 2 separate applications would likely be the better course of action.
The ideal time to apply a fall pre-emergent herbicide like Dimension 2EW Herbicide to your yard is between August and November when the soil temperature is below 70 degrees and dropping. You may contact your local cooperative extension office to determine the correct timing of the application as this will vary greatly from region to region or search online for best time to apply in (your area). A lot of universities have great articles for this.

Slightly warmer air temperatues for a day/night or two may not be enough to raise the soil temperatures enough to get the soil warm.
You can contact your County Extension Office for exact timing recommendations for your area or check for your current and historical soil temperature online by your zip code using a tool such as Greencast.

With a product like Dimension 2EW and most other selective herbicides, the application rates are given in ounces per 1000 sq ft rather than ounces per gallon. Water is only acting as the carrier to distribute the active ingredient evenly and thoroughly each 1000 sq ft on the property so whether it takes you 0.5 gallons of water or 2 gallons of water, it doesn’t matter as long as you adequately cover 1000 sq ft.
Dimension 2EW Herbicide is applied at 1-2 pints per acre, which breaks down to 0.28 - 0.73 oz. per 1,000 sq. ft. You should use sufficient water according to your spray equipment and how fast you move when making the application to apply the correct amount of product for the size area you are treating. We have a great video here to assist you with calibrating your sprayer.
Dimension 2EW Herbicide is applied at the rate of 0.28 - 0.73 oz. in atleast 0.5 gallons of water per 1,000 sq. ft. For treating 20,880 sq ft, this would come to a total of 5.8 fl oz to 15.1 fl oz of Dimension 2EW. This can be appplied in a single application at the higher rate or applied at the lower rate to allow follow up applications to provide longer weed control.
For simplicity purposes, split the coverage area into 2 sections and do 2 fills of the 15 gallon tank sprayer. Mix 2.9 fl oz to 7.5 fl oz per 15 gallons of water to treat each section.
