Little Saint James — Greater Saint James Follow- up Report July 23, 2017 Introduction The initial report centered on my observations from the site visit from July 12-16. It was necessary to document those observations as a basis for any thoughts and recommendations going forward for consideration by the owner. I will dispense with what we already know and get right to my area of involvement regarding turf and landscape issues and development. This will include references to my initial report without restatement in the interest of brevity. Turf Turfgrasses can serve many purposes in your environment. 1. To frame and define planting beds. 2. Stormwater management- Control erosion and runoff on the many thinly established slopes. 3. Provide alternative to stone and pavers on walkways and entryways. 4. Dust abatement The many areas with established turf and those under development are in immediate need of attention. There is a definite lack of adequate fertility evidenced by generally thin stands of grass and the presence of weeds in those voids. The growing environment is the biggest challenge due to the lack of adequate topsoil to support the stand. Cultivation practices will be necessary to incorporate additional organic content to the rocky soil in those already established and would recommend incorporation of a sand soil mix in any future lawn areas. A complete balanced fertilizer product with a 1-2-1 NPK ratio should be applied monthly until the desired density is achieved. Complete soil sampling and analysis by a certified lab will provide the proper recommendations for your maintenance program going forward. Weed control is easily achieved with locally sourced materials applied with the proper equipment under proper supervision. EFTA00805119
