More Bubbly

This past Friday Woody and his crew made an addition to the irrigation pond. Some people might recall a few years back when we encountered a problem with a smell coming from the pond. We decided to correct this issue by installing four airolaters which help with pulling the water from the bottom of the pond to the surface. This keeps a constant flow throughout the pond to keep everything healthy and to help keep the smell away. In continuation of the project we decided to incorporate four more airolaters and dispersed them evenly throughout the pond. In total we now have eight airolaters, and our pond should continue to be in good health, free of smell and looking good.

Lagoon Cleanup

The Blue Hills Maintenance Crew has begun work on the lagoon. This project has multiple steps that are required in order to get the majority of the debris out. The first step we took in order to start the process was to create a gravel path that would allow us to get to the center of the lagoon. We are now beginning to scoop out the debris and muck that has been collecting after heavy rainstorms. This is only a temporary solution because there are two constant flowing creeks that deposit directly into the lagoon. 

Below are pictures of the process so far.

Refreshed

This past week we have been busy working on a few different projects. One of these projects is the landscape bed next to the driving range tee. This bed was in need of a remodel. If you can remember this bed consisted of a row of tall shrubs that were enclosing the west side of the driving range tee. These shrubs were old and outdated and just needed to be replaced with something fresh. The remodel will consist of lower growing plants that will help with the beauty of the bed, and visibility of the driving range tee. Below, is a before and after picture of the bed. The design shown is what the bed will look like when completed.
