Holly shrubs would need to be treated like trees, in which case you would cut the shrubs down to stumps and then treat the fresh cuts. Ranger Pro Herbicide would be applied at a 50% to 100% (undiluted) rate directly to the stump. This is best done immediately after the stump has been cut down. For best results, make applications during periods of active growth and full leaf expansion. Repeat applications may be needed.

Typically when using herbicides like Ranger Pro that contain glyphosate, you would want to give at least 2 weeks between when you sprayed the product and when you plan to put down grass seed. This should give adequate time for the existing weeds to die and be raked out, and allow any remaining bits of the chemical in the soil to break down.
Ranger Pro Herbicide uses glyphosate which is talked about in this article HERE on killing Oleander trees.
If this is a big shrub, then you would want to cut it and then treat the fresh cuts using a triclopyr herbicide such as Fertilome Brush Killer and Stump Killer. You can use a dedicated paintbrush to apply the product full strength directly onto the fresh cuts to prevent regrowth.
