Applying the Mulch to the Tennis Court

The Edgehill Dog Park is moving at an excellent speed in terms of how the vendors have done their work, or 99% of it, and how neighbors have chipped in to get us to a point where we need to place, essentially, the final large piece of the project puzzle into place. That being the spreading off mulch over the tennis court's asphalt surface.

The mulch is being donated by Randy Smith

Tree Care - a company that recently performed some work in our park and does quite a bit of assignments for our property management company, RS Fincher. It is a TREMENDOUS show of generosity on Mr. Smith's part to swing by the tennis court parking lot to drop off wood chips from his job. We thank him sincerely and hope (those of you who need tree trimming or removal) that you'll consider his services. Donations of wood chips aside, his prices are very fair and he performs according to job specifications.

If you've been tracking the dog park's progress.......

You're likely on the dog park email list. But if not, the time is now for a call of volunteers to help spread this mulch on Saturday July 25, 2009 over at the Edgehill Farm Tennis Court area. The job will be simple. Fill a wheelbarrow or wheeled canister with wood chips, a team will roll it into the tennis court, empty the container, spread the mulch to a healthy depth and repeat until the mulch is gone.

Two large wood chip piles are already on site and more is on the way, so we'll tackle what's there.

Active neighbors have already come together on this project to perform early, nit-picky, stuff suited for one or two people at a time, or I would've contacted folks sooner.

After all, a little help on Saturday morning around 9:30am will benefit folks who support the dog park in spirit but, for physical reasons, might can't lend a hand.

Email me: kmanchor(at)yahoo.com and let me know you can contribute an hour or two to the cause.

Volunteer hours help us maximize our grant value through the Town of Cary (they've offered us a grant to perform the project)
