Finally, the employee housing project has a finished look after we removed the weed growth and cleaned up the roadsides leading to the new facility. The area covered in straw will ultimately be grass and will better fit in with the rest of the Club corridor along the highway.
Dredging equipment and materials arrived today next week, the contractor will be getting the equipment in the water.
Between #7 and #8, we spend a considerable amount of time removing the "sucker growth" from these Oak trees. Oak's are notorious for this kind of growth and it take away form the overall shape and appearance of the tree. Unfortunately, once we start removing them, they seem to get worse. This is due to the build up of plant hormones at the site where a limb or past sucker growth was removed. Hormones are used by the tree to heal such an injury. Sucker growth is a tree's way of producing more leaf canopy quickly, which lead to the tree being able to photosynthesize more, producing more food for itself.
