City of Fort Worth Front Entrance Landscaping & Irrigation Update

The Board recently spoke with the City of Fort Worth liaison/inspector regarding the ongoing construction at the front entrance.

Below is a summary of the city construction updates:

City Water Meter: The city meter will be moved by the city contractor to clear the new sidewalk path.

Detector Check: Currently a trip hazard, this will  be relocated as part of the road construction project out of the sidewalk path by the city or ToMC can have a licensed irrigator remove it with full reimbursment  

Planter Boundaries: The city contractor will repair and re-establish the planter edging. The HOA will be responsible for resuming normal seasonal flower plantings once the boundaries are set.

Sod and Seed Limits: The city’s contract covers laying sod exactly two feet behind the new sidewalks. Any disturbed areas beyond that two-foot line, up to the planter edge, will be soded and watered by the city until established by our sprinkler system.

9 Tips to Keep Your Lawn Green and Healthy 

These 9 tips may help for a healthier, greener lawn:

  • Aerate: Remove soil plugs to let air and nutrients reach the roots.
  • Water Properly: Deep, consistent watering is key.
  • Mow Dry: Never mow when the grass is wet.
  • Correct Height: Keep grass between 2 and 3 inches.
  • Fertilize: Use affordable natural fertilizers to nourish the soil.
  • Sharp Blades: Ensure mower blades are sharp for a clean cut.
  • Weed Control: Regularly pull weeds by the root for best results.
  • Grass Cycle: Leave clippings on the lawn to return nitrogen and minerals.
  • Manage Pet Spots: Quickly address and repair damage from pets.

Bermuda Grass vs St Augustine: What Are The Differences?

Selecting the right grass type may improve your lawn by matching its strengths to your specific environment and lifestyle. Bermuda grass may be best for low water costs and high foot traffic due to its drought resistance and durability, while St. Augustine thrives in varied soil types and retains its green color longer into the cooler months. By choosing a variety that fits your yard's conditions, you may achieve a thicker, more resilient lawn that naturally suppresses weeds and lowers maintenance costs.
