Project Profile:

University of Iowa Hospitals & Clinics

Project Summary

Fire lane to provide access from between buildings and to another street access. The condition of the grass indicates that micronutrients are required to provide the trace elements necessary for strong grass growth. Also there is no evidence of irrigation being used and watering every three days would improve the grass health.
