According to our Rep with Dow Agro, the only difference in the Snapshot 2.5 TG Herbicide and Snapshot 2.5 DG is the package size and coloring of the granule The DG formulation does use also use the Andersons patented DG Lite formulation, which features a dispersible granule for improved, uniform coverage.
The application and active ingredients are both the same. The Snapshot 2.5 DG has now been discontinued but the 2 different coloring of the granules was due to to some Turf Pros not wanting a yellow granule and prefer the brown granule but neither should stain.
Snapshot 2.5 TG can only be applied around established plants. Per the product label, avoid using Snapshot 2.5 TG in areas where you are going to put in new plants for at least one year.

Snapshot 2.5 TG is a pre-emergent, meaning that it prevents seeds from germinating. This product will help to prevent labeled weeds from coming up when used as instructed, however, it will not control already existing or actively growing weeds. Broadleaf weeds in a flower & ornamental beds will be treated very differently and much more carefully than would be needed in a lawn. Any broadleaf weeds (like clover, violets, dandelion, bittercress, etc) have to be hand pulled or directly spot treated with a general weed control product or roundup. Since broadleaf weeds are so similar in nature to most plants found in bedding areas, you would not be able to spray over the top without harming both. Any grassy weeds can usually be controlled with an over the top broadcast spray in flower beds with no worry of harm coming to them, but you will always want to check the product label for your specific species to be sure it’s safe. We recommend using pre-emergents as that is the most effective way to stop weeds especially in flower bed areas where chemical options are limited. Below you fill find links to liquid and granule options for your bedding areas.

Grass Out Max

The best way to keep that species from coming back is with consistent efforts spot treating any new green plant tissue as soon as you see it emerging from the soil, and hand remove or rake out as much of the root system as you can. Pre emergents will not stop woody vine type plants from coming back.

You are just limited on what you can spray in areas with desirable plants and must spot treat directly with non selective herbicides.
Snaptshot 2.5 TG is labeled for use around a wide variety of species of maple trees, including varieties of Japanese maples, as long as they are established plants.

You can also utilize an arborist in your area to inspect the tree for any signs that could be causing the decline like lack of nutrients, insects, or disease.

Snapshot 2.5 TG - 50 lbs. does require watering in after application to get down into the soil to create the barrier.
