Lucas & Hunt shoulder of road

The main entrance to our club is kept very simple.  We have about 50 yards of shoulder on the north side of the entrance and about 200 yards south of the entrance that we manage.  The county places mulch every season along the shoulder in front of the cemetery.  We are responsible for our section and have not done anything to the area except trim trees and pick up leaves and trash.  We accumulated a large pile of tree chip material from our Tree Management Program and have used this material on the woodland garden on #9 and the back entrance to the club along Wallingford.  We decided it was time to improve the Lucas and Hunt entrance or at least cover up shoulder area between the road and fence line.

It should look good for our membership and we do receive a great deal of visitors to the course or clubhouse who might only attend on one occasion and we prefer to leave them with a very good impression.

The staff placed about 35 loads on the north side of the road with our small utility vehicles and raked the chipped mulch in place.  We placed a small section along the south entrance at this time as well.  We need to complete the remaining part of the woodland garden area and will then utilize what is left.  We will probably run out of material and will  contact our tree trimming company to get a couple loads of chips hauled in to finish the job on the south end.
