Finishing touches

As the year winds down, we have been busy putting the finishing touches on some projects. We were able to complete our last set of bunker renovations before the nasty cold set in. And all the tall grass native areas were mowed down one last time for the season.

Being able to wrap up the bunkers on #2 before the cold (and holidays) was ideal. Although it looks like we may still get some unseasonably warm temps right after the start of the new year, we can’t count on that happening. Using the last stretch of warmer temps, we were able to quickly get the last bit of sod laid. Hopefully, in this next warm up, the sand will thaw, and we can move it back into place.

We also performed our winter mowing on the tall grass areas. We aim to mow these areas 3 times per year, with the last of the season being in December. Again, a few nice days right before the heavy rain, allowed us to compete the project. This mowing helps limit any winter germinating weeds from getting a head start and removes any dead tissue from some of the grass, so they have a fresh start come spring.

Mother Nature cooperated just late enough into the year for us to finish up some pressing outside projects before we hunker down to focus on our inside work.

Happy holidays
