needs to continue for all turf areas. M&A: 12-12-14 It is
estimated that all median with turf have broadleaf
weeds within over 75% to 90% of the turf areas. M&A:
06/11/15 Turf replacement planning is in process.
Multiple medians have been reviewed for replacement
by County staff and the Contractor. An on-site meeting
was held and the following issues were discussed. The
broadleaf weed coverage within the turf areas has
improved, but many median turf areas still need review
for replacement of the turf. It is also recommended that
all planting beds be reviewed with regards to the turf
edges being too close to the plants causing a conflict to
occur between the plants, mowers and edger’s. If the
turf is too close then it is recommended to remove one
or two strips of turf with a sod cutter so to expand the
plant bed and create a open mulch area between the

plants and turf. In some locations this type of turf
removal may result in a turf area that is too small to
mow between the back of curb and the plants. It is
recommended that these small turf areas be removed
entirely and the areas be mulched. There will also be
areas between planting beds that will become smaller
turf areas and it may be better to remove these small
turf areas and expand the plantings from the existing
beds to cover these areas where the turf is removed
thus tying the planting beds together. M&A: 8/13/15

systemic type chemical. Treat for root rot and snails.
Remove dead foliage within and around base of plants.
In the future reduce mulch in contact and inside of Lily
plants. Existing mulch depth and caking is not permitting
water to penetrate into the soil. Interior sides of plants
are dry below mulch. M&A: 4/9/18 Due to poor
performance of Flax lily plants it is recommended that
African Iris be used.
Median #14 (#19 – Paver only)
Median #13 (18) (Old #20) X X 4 On east end: (1) Mahogany tree had a large lower branch break off and the main trunk
has been damaged as a result. Based upon the main trunk damage it is recommended
the tree be considered for removal because of the long-term potential of the main trunk
rotting from standing water and debris. The tree will try to compartmentalize around the
damaged area, but we feel it will have weaken the main trunk to a point of possible
major failure in the future.
