It sure looks like grass.
Landscapers planted a rye/bluegrass/fescue mix with a mesh retaining cover on the slope between Olson Spur and Ridge Side Court, and initial results are green and growing. Several large boulders were added as diverters to reduce washout, and the drainage swales were cleaned and restored with fresh gravel. The straw bales are temporary diverters to help reduce washout, and will be removed when the grass is established.
Our most recent cloudburst last week cut a few small tenches on the hillside, but crews from Impact were repairing and replanting them today (7.5.2017).
The same crews are working on similar issues on the eastern end of the property between Olson Spur and Silver Valley. This work includes similar erosion control measures, including treatment of areas where tree stumps were ground.
