Median #15 – 21 X 41 Turf has dead areas due to being previously very water stress. M&A: 8/13/18 Dead areas have become overgrown with
weeds.
Median #12 – 29 (3-19) X 73 Medians that contain turf areas. M&A: 02-13-14 The broadleaf weed treatment program
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 Plan preparation is underway
for turf renovations in all medians. M&A: 10/15/15 Sod
Renovation plan completed and submitted. Contractor has
been contacted to prepare proposal/estimate. M&A: 12-10-

reduce mulch in contact and inside of Lily plants. Existing

replace as needed with (2 +/-) 3 gal. size.
X X 34 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.

with Crape myrtle eastward and northward of original
Mahogany tree locations.
