Dear Owners,
Those of you who are currently at Hacienda Riquelme may have seen some of the grass areas in the various phases of the Resort surrounded by red tape. This is due to the scarification* that STV is carrying out.
Although the best time of the year to scarify is early spring, it can also be done during September and October before the cold weather arrives.
STV is taking advantage of the good weather and the high temperatures that Murcia offers during these months to recover some of the bald patches and areas of turf in poor condition in different parts of the Resort.
Below, you can see the addresses of the areas where work is being carried out, and a map with the approximate points treated marked in red.
- Phase 1:
- Atlántico 74-76 front area.
- Atlántico 78-84 at the back.
- Atlántico 140 front area.
- Atlántico 142-154 front area.
- Phase 2
- Indico 59 front areas.
- Indico 73 front areas.
- Indico 85 front areas.
- Phase 3
- Adriático 4 front area.
- Adriático 20 – 22 front area.
- Phase 4
- Egeo 6-8-10 front area.
- Egeo 46-52 front area.
- Phase 5A
- Atlántico 25 front area.
- Atlántico 17 front area.
- Phase 5B
- Atlántico 178-182 rear area.
- Atlántico 208-210 front area.
- Phase 7
- Atlántico 56 front area.
It should be noted that having the new pumping station in operation and having water stored in one of the lakes of the golf course is essential to be able to carry out this task of restoring green areas. There will be a communication re irrigation water in the coming weeks.
The procedure being followed is:
- Irrigation of the area to moisten the ground well.
- Scarifying with the appropriate machinery. The soil should be marked without too much depth.
- Daily watering of the area and always keeping it sufficiently moist.
- A few days after scarifying, check and place cuttings (plugs) in the areas where the grass is least likely to spread.
This is why the areas have been marked out and it would be very appreciated if neighbours do not walk on them and to prevent their pets from doing so.
*Scarification: This is a lawn maintenance technique, which helps the soil to absorb water and nutrients more easily, and makes the grass grow denser and stronger.
Thank you very much.
Kind regards,
