Tree removal

Well after all the talk the last few years the day is here that trees are hitting the ground.  First area is the pool and putting green.  The trees behind the diving board were very over grown and create a huge mess for the pool so it was decided to take them and the remaining trees out.  Most of the trees were leaning towards the pool anyway.  As new landscaping is going in around the pool and clubhouse we will plant new shrubs along the new fence.  You will also notice new landscape in the front of the clubhouse.  This was long overdue and should be complete by the weekend.

As part of our two part process to repair the cartpaths, trees must come out first. I am sure you have seen the flagging tape all over the course. While a large portion of those marked are for path reasons many are for shade issues.  By opening up some areas more sunlight and air flow will allow for better turf conditions.  I also know several have expressed concerns with how many we are removing. Our tree removal commitee decided which should come out.  In the future we plan to strategically plant some non pine species. I wish I had a good estimated completion time but I don't.  I would rather the project be clean and thorough and if it takes a bit longer then so be it.  As we get closer to completion I will begin the process of path repair.  The plan is to mill everything that needs it and asphalt.  We don't plan to do 100% of the paths, just anything cracked or damaged.

Exciting and busy times at NCC!!  Come on out.
