Sodding at Driveway Entrance

This project was budgeted for July, but we were able to go head and do it now. The small strip of fescue lawn between the entrance driveway and cart path to #1 tee. This turf has not done well, even with irrigation, because it just gets to hot from heat reflected by all the hard surface areas. Since there are several small patches of Bermuda already growing great there. We took out the remainder of the fescue and installed Bermuda sod in its place. There is a small area on the slope above the cart path that will be sodded as well in a couple weeks after greens aerification. We will be doing some more Bermuda sodding on the course at that time.

ORNAMENTAL LANDSCAPE MAINTENANCE



trimming crape myrtles



The end of February, Thur March is the time to start working on early spring cleanup of our ornamental plantings beds, and large mulch areas. Alfredo Sr. has been doing most of this work. Like trimming crape myrtles, hollies and plants in the parking lot islands. His latest focus is on trimming lirope, and ornamental grass plants that helps provides some contrast in the stark winter landscape. We have also started putting down the pre-emergent weed control in the beds, before adding new pine straw around the club house. This is a big job since we have over 2 acres of bed space just between the club house and golf course.
