Maryville City Manager Ryan Heiland proposed additional funds for the Mozingo Lake Recreation Park Bunker Renovation Project specifically to purchase more sod.
This request became necessary because the original turf surrounding the work areas was worn down and damaged during the heavy construction process. By allocating these extra funds, the city aims to restore the landscape and ensure the course is in peak condition upon completion.
The Maryville City Council approved a contract with Viridity, LLC to carry out the renovations on the Sechrest 18 course. This project involves a comprehensive overhaul of the course’s bunkers, including reshaping them for better playability and installing modernized drainage systems. To prevent future maintenance issues, the project utilizes angular sand, which stays in place better than rounded grains and helps prevent drainage clogs.
In addition to the work on Sechrest 18, the council approved a follow-up contract with Viridity, LLC to begin renovations on the Watson 9 course once the initial eighteen holes are finished. The city has arranged to cover the majority of these costs using Mozingo’s specific fund, ensuring the recreational improvements are financed through the park’s own resources.
