Mulch Replacement
2013, 2014, 2016, 2018 & 2019 – Mulch replacement was a phased project originally done every 6 years.
2020 – After much research and the completion of a landscaping tender the board has decided to top up mulch yearly to help maintain the flower beds. This will help with weed control, water retention and provide nutrients to the many perennials located throughout our neighbourhood.
Areas for mulch top up are being identified by the landscaper and will be completed in June, 2020. Some of the areas identified in the tender are E, D, F, U, V, DD, EE, FF, Q
2021 – Top up of mulch was added to the following mulch beds H, D, E, R
2022 – Mulch top-up completed in 10 beds throughout the community. If you refer to our map they were R, B, I, L, E, J, K, C, M, N.
2023 – It was noted that problem areas are LL, II, JJ, X, V, Y, U.
2024 – Mulch top up is required so we’re petitioning the City of Edmonton to see if they will provide the mulch if we do the work and the city will not help. Instead we made a partnership with Davey Tree and the PNRA. Davey Tree is providing free mulch and the PNRA is letting the GHOA use their land to have the mulch delivered. In return, the GHOA shares the mulch with the PNRA. This has provided over 30 yards of mulch to the shrub beds in 2024 in the Glastonbury Community. This is not a free solution as the GHOA landscaper places the mulch in the designated areas but one that will keep the GHOA fees at a reasonable amount.
