A Splash of Upfront Color

One of the big projects that we have taken on this spring has been the landscaping around the clubhouse, parking lot and driving range at Stillmeadow Country Club.  While we haven't done much yet as far as new plantings, we have made and continue to make an effort to refresh the outside ambiance.  The first step was to clean 4-5+ years of old mulch out of the beds, apply a new spaded edge, weed, pre-emerge and mulch the beds.  We have had weeds poking back through as fast as we apply the new mulch but that should somewhat subside once the pre-emergent receives the proper moisture to create an herbicidal barrier to keep the weeds out.  Round-up will be applied to any weeds that continue to make it through.  Aside from the new mulch we have also planted 35 flats of pansies and sprayed all the weeds in the turf areas.  Pre-emergent and fertilizer will be applied to all of the turf areas soon.
