Routine Maintenance; 1. Mow and string trim turf areas weekly during the growing season. Grass clippings must be dispersed evenly without leaving windrows or noticeable clumps. String trimming must be tidy and uniform with the mowing height. String trim ditches and the pond edge weekly. 2. Edge concrete areas. 3. Blow to remove debris from paved surfaces, including the asphalt walking path. 4. Pick up litter from the entire grounds at each visit. 5. Spray non-selective herbicide (such as glyphosate), as needed, to maintain aggregate areas and concrete cracks free of weeds. Spray an 8-inch strip under chain link fences (4 inches on each side of the fence.) Spray to create a “tree ring” around the base of each tree that is in open turf. 6. Prune low-hanging branches that obstruct mowing, and prune suckers from the base of crepe myrtles at the entry of the park. 7. Pick up fallen branches. These may be hauled to Southeastern’s Compost Facility north of the park. Initial Clean Up; 1. Perform all routine maintenance listed above. 2. Remove volunteer trees from fence lines. 3. Cut all brush and rogue trees within the driplines of larger trees. 4. Haul brush and other organic debris to Southeastern’s Compost Facility.
