New grass at Long Brick Row and Timber Point

The landscaper has planted grass seed to prevent soil erosion in small areas at Long Brick Row and Timber Point. Please try not to walk on the grass or allow dogs to urinate on it until it is established. Young grass is delicate.

To prevent continuing erosion of the Timber Point hillside resulting from runoff from the uphill proerty, mowing of the area will be stopped.
