VI.                Park Lane Landscaping

a.      Thank you to Steve Durham

b.      Plant choice was decided by board members and Steve Durham.  Chosen to enhance the wall and conceal the crumbling wall.  Cost to remove the wall was estimated at $65K.  A “green” option was chosen because it was less expensive at $7,200.  Photenias were also chosen because of durability.  Per Calloways, if a weed or grass can grow, photenia can grow.  Also, purchased through Calloways because there is a lifetime warranty on the plants.
