Last week despite a wet start, Precision Site Development made tremendous headway with fill and grading operations on the South Side of the Legacy project. With over 5000 yards of soil moved and compacted, the range, short game and the site for the teaching academy building are taking shape.

The key for these operations to be successful are dry soil and weather to allow the off road haulers to move soil as well as for the proper compaction of the soil to occur to eliminate settling. Another interesting piece attached to the fill operations is the depth of the topsoil on the hill. In some areas there is over 2 feet of nutrient rich topsoil, the problem is it does not compact well so it will be stored on site and used in the future for grounds projects for years to come. The back of the range, a borrow pit will be used, quality compactable fill will be removed for the Legacy project and topsoil will fill the void in this area.

Here's hoping for dry and seasonal weather to greet the Golf Course Contractor and Golf Course Architect, Tim Liddy the first week of May to begin the detail work of shaping, drainage and irrigation installation.
Thank-you,
