All:
This is update #14 for the Sunset sidewalk project.
Country Landscapes has been on-site the last few days planting
trees and starting on sod work. Based on
our conversations with the tree crew and the sod crew, they are anticipating
completing their tree and sod work by the end of the day tomorrow. As mentioned before, they have prescribed
watering schedules for both trees and sod that will continue in the following
weeks.
Please note that they will be applying a fertilizer to the
prepared grade before the initial laying of sod, and applying a second
fertilizer application 4 or 5 weeks later after they complete their watering
schedule.
The Country Landscapes contractor indicated to us that because
of these applications, adjacent residents should not apply additional
fertilizer applications until next spring.
Thanks for your time,

- Oakcrest Panel Repair
- There is a sunken street panel in the middle of the road between Sunset Street and Mahaska Drive that will be removed and replaced by L.L. Pelling beginning next Tuesday (9/17). below is a map showing the location of the repair and the detour signage that will be placed. We're not sure what time they will be setting up the detour and closing off this section of Oakcrest on Tuesday. It could be first thing in the morning before school/work, or it could take place later in the morning. The expectation is that this repair work will take two days and should be opened back up sometime on Thursday.

This is update #13 for the Sunset Street
Wide Sidewalk project.
The remaining
work is the restoration items of sod installation, planting of trees, and
subsequent watering of both in the weeks following. We have been holding off on this work due to
the hot, dry conditions this month, and have been in communication with the
landscape contractor (Country Landscapes) to coordinate the best time to get
this work started. Fortunately, the
weather forecasts indicate temperatures returning closer to "average"
after this week. The remaining contract
work to be completed and anticipated timeline is as follows:
Beginning next
week, we expect to see the general contractor (Vieth Construction)back on-site
to finish their rough grading work.
There are still areas that need to be smoothed out and contoured, and
some additional dirt along the curbs that needs to be cut down and
removed. The topsoil that has been
respread across the site at this time is the same material that was removed
from the top 6-inches and stockpiled at the beginning of the project.
After the rough
grading work is completed, the landscape contractor will then mobilize with
their own equipment to further prepare the subgrade before placing sod. They will be using tiller type equipment to
rip up the soil, remove remaining grass/weed patches, break down dirt clods,
and smooth the grade. They will then be
raking (by hand or mechanically) the soil to screen out (collect) all of the
larger dirt clods, rocks, debris, etc.
More "hand" work will be required to prepare the soil between
the west edge of the sidewalk and adjacent fences and yards. There will then be a fertilizer treatment
applied to the soil before the sod is placed.
After this prep
work is concluded, the trees will be planted and mulched, and then sod
installed. We expect this work will
occur during the week of Sept. 23-27.
The contractor will begin watering of both trees and sod immediately
after installation, and will continue throughout the following weeks. The landscape contractor indicated they will
be using "watering bags" around each tree. They will complete their required hand
watering around each tree, and will also fill up the bag during each visit. The watering bag slowly releases water to
provide additional saturation after leaving the site.
We'll provide
another update next week as this remaining work gets underway.
Thanks for your
time,
Josiah D.
