Turf Restoration Update - 7/9/2024

Turf Restoration work is scheduled to begin as soon as 7/9, weather permitting. One or two of the following three methods will occur at your property depending upon the current condition of the turf.

• Brillion seeding. A small tractor pulls a machine behind it that drops seed onto the turf, the seed is then pushed into the ground by a metal disc.
• Slit seeding. Like brillion seeding, but is a smaller machine, typically self-propelled.
• Hand raking. Smaller areas will have the soil scarified by raking, seed will then be distributed of the area and the area will be raked again.

Following any of the methods listed above, hydromulch and fertilizer will be applied to the restored areas. The hydromulch will help keep the seed and soil moist and prevent erosion and seed loss.

The City will continue working with the contractor this summer to ensure the City’s specifications are met, including proper turf growth without significant weeds. Thank you for your patience as we navigate the extremely wet start to the spring and summer.
