Just last summer it looked like this.
Lori Boyer has received numerous calls and emails about the medians between San Marco Square and LaSalle. What happened to the lush green eco-turf called peanut sod? It should look like this, but appears dead in many areas.
According to the city’s Chief of Mowing and maintenance, the die back was caused by inundation with brackish water from Hurricane Matthew. Lori Boyer noted that she sees more sprouts and sections filling in each day, but Public Works is committed to replanting in April any areas that are still brown.
