Rock Landscaping

To get to the Heart of America Golf Course you must travel on Blue River Road.  Aside from the litter that is along the edge of the road it is a very scenic drive.  In fact you might even think you are in Colorado driving next to the base of a mountain.  My point was proven when a large boulder fell onto the road last week.  

The city brought there loaders and large dump trucks to clean up the mess that caused the road to be closed for a few hours and was kind enough to deliver a load to our shop per my request.  Below are a few pictures of how we were able to use the rock. 

 

We also removed the old wood railing retaining wall along the cart path and chipping green and made a rock wall which I think is a little more pleasing to the eye. 

Next time traveling Blue River Road be sure to watch out for falling rock.  

Keeping Zoysia Weed Free

Every year around this time we spray the dormant Zoysia turf with a pre and post emergent herbicide. The pre emergent herbicide keeps weeds from growing in it. The post emergent herbicide is glyphosate aka roundup. Because the zoysia is dormant (not green) the glyphosate cannot enter into the plant through photosynthesis. What we are targeting in this spray is mostly annual bluegrass and clover. Those weeds are green and will take in the glyphosate. The blue tint that you see is simply a tracker so we are able to see where we sprayed. The result once temperatures rise is a weed free playing surface.

Driving Range Targets

The Driving Range Targets got a fresh coat of paint and we made some new Bulls-eye targets.  Come on out and enjoy this amazing January weather and attempt to hit them!!
