| August Maintenance Report |
| One focus of this month was the monitoring of the new sod. We made daily site visits during the first part of the month. The visits consisted of checking irrigation controllers for proper operation and looking for broken irrigation heads. After some final sod replacements, we fertilized and sprayed for turf weeds on the 26th. Chinch bugs have continued to be sprayed. There has been some sod damage by chinch bugs on the East end of the property that we will replace. |

| With the need to run the irrigation more due to the new sod, there has been additional opportunity for vandalism of the irrigation heads. The damage appears to be done when the system is operating and someone is breaking the riser stems of the sprinkler heads as they walk or ride a bike along the sidewalk, breaking about 5 to 10 heads in a row on a single zone. At the end of the month, we cut back some run times/days. Hopefully, this will give the vandals less opportunity to cause damage. |
| Nut sedge is still a major nuisance in turf and shrub beds. Treatment is continuing and appears to be progressing slowly. The street trees were limbed up to provide clearance along the sidewalk and roadway. There are some weaker areas of sod that were not replaced that will be sprayed weekly with iron to help the appearance. |
