Pond Bank Repairs

Guys using small stone to create a ledge for the small soxx tubes to sit on and provide stability.

The soxx tubes have compost, soil and seed in them.  The bermudagrass will grow into the soxx and provide stability and erosion control.  Yard works out of Powhatan is where we order the soxx tubes from.

Tree Root Prunning

Tree roots will rob nutrients and water from turfgrass causing the turf to become   Weak and exposing bare ground. We have been Prunning the worst hit areas around the course over the last week.  Our process has been to cut and remove sod from the area, trench down to approximately 8-10 inch while cutting through the roots on one or two sides of the trees drip line. Third, the staff fills and tamps the dirt back into the trench line. Finally the sod is laid back over the trench for recovery.

Removing the sod

Trenching down 8-10 inches

Trench line

Sod is placed back over the trench once it has been filled.
