The grass at Roman Forest City Park looks a lot greener these days thanks to a donation of sod from Double T Tree Service.
The idea of beautifying the park was recently pitched to the council by representatives of the business, after which council was on board to see what improvements needed to be made.
[Double T Tree Services owner Dennis Rands] essentially adopted the city park, said Roman Forest Police Chief Stephen Carlisle. That means that he intends to keep all of the trees in the park trimmed and keep the park looking good.
Some of the immediate work included the trimming of dangerous limbs that were hanging over park equipment. This also cleared the way to let the sunlight in.
It all looks like a little fairy tale land since the work has been done, said City Secretary Liz Mullane. Once the turf went down, it just looks very green and soft and new.
The process of laying the sod down took approximately two days to roll it out and get it set. Once the process was finished, the city maintenance crew made the decision to have the sprinkler system run above the new sod.
Weve noticed several residents coming into the park to look at the grass and just commenting on how beautiful it looks, said Mullane.
Roman Forest Mayor Ray Ricks is equally happy with the work that has been done, issuing a special thank you to Rands and his employees.
Mullane anticipates that there will be many more improvements on the park.
We have been approved for an East Montgomery County Community Development Grant from EMCID (East Montgomery County Improvement District), Miller Homes and the city, said Mullane. We intend on taking that grant and trying to get funding from Texas Parks and Wildlife Department, as well. We are definitely going to continue to try to improve.

Business helps beautify Roman Forest
It seems that they come earlier and earlier each year, but armyworms are back. The most common type that we are seeing now are Fall armyworms and they love grass crops. In this past week, I have observed armyworms in soybeans, hayfields, pastures, and in a bermuda grass lawn. Armyworms are a really bad pest because they have the ability to devour a lawn, pasture or hay field in a very short period of time. Many times they go unnoticed, as they cause most of the damage at night.
Hay producers and homeowners are sometimes given a warning that armyworms are in a field by the presence of white cow birds or a cluster of birds. But hay producers that are applying high levels of fertilizers to grow a quality crop should scout their fields every other day to make sure these destructive pests are not eating their hay crop. Scouting for Fall armyworms requires a hay producer to go into the field, push back the grass and look for worms.
Homeowners should be observant of brown patches of bermuda grass that rapidly spread and enlarge. If you see this, start looking for armyworms. The caterpillars feed at night, so the culprit of the damage is not noticeable at first. Scouting for homeowners can be a little different. To inspect your lawn for armyworms, simply mix about two tablespoons of a lemon-scented dishwashing detergent in one gallon of water and pour it over a one square foot area of the lawn. If armyworms are present, they will quickly come to the top of the sod.
Fall armyworms will eat many kinds of grass, but their favorite is bermuda grass that is well fertilized and watered. Homeowners frequently notice them after their grass starts to thin.
Armyworms are susceptible to cold and are unable to survive even the mildest winters in Georgia. Each year, Fall armyworm moths are carried by air currents from Central and South America. The size and timing of the initial moth flights are two factors that influence the outbreak potential of this pest.
The four stages of development of the fall armyworm are the egg, larvae, pupae and adult. The adult is an ash-gray colored moth. The front wings are mottled and have white or light gray spots near the tips. The back wings are white with a narrow, smoky-brown edge. The female moths lay eggs at night in masses of up to several hundred in grass and on light-colored surfaces. The eggs are light gray and covered with grayish fuzz from the females body. These masses darken with age and the eggs hatch within 2 to 4 days.
The tiny, light-colored, black-headed larvae (caterpillars) spin down to the ground on silken webs and begin to feed. As they grow, their bodies darken and noticeable stripes appear. When fully grown, larvae may be up to 11/2 inches long and vary in color from light green to almost black with several stripes along the body. The face is marked with a light colored inverted Y. Development from egg to fully grown larva requires about 2 to 3 weeks.
Once the caterpillar reaches maximum size it burrows into the soil and forms a pupa. The moths emerge in about 10 to 14 days. Three to four generations can occur in southeast Georgia.
Fall armyworm damage often seems to appear suddenly overnight. The young armyworms do not eat very much. Almost all the damage is caused by the older caterpillars which eat more than all the other ages put together. Large fall armyworms will often march into an uninfested area in search of food once an adjacent lawn has been defoliated.
Several insecticides are available to homeowners that will provide effective control of fall armyworms; trichlorfon (Bayer Advanced), carbaryl (Sevin) 50WP, Bacillus thuringiensis (Dipel WP) and various pyrethroids. Always be sure to read and follow label directions.

When the Justice Insider comes across the word turf in the course of a days work, it usually is preceded by gang or followed by war.
Not this time.
A Dublin parks employee told police on July 8 that someone had turfed the lawn by the dumpster at Emerald Field Park, according to a report. Apparently, this is a continuing problem. The parks employee requested extra police patrols after hours.
The Insider will admit to having no idea what turfing is, imagining a diabolically giggling grass thief making off with strips of rolled sod under each arm. But the grass was damaged, not stolen.
The Internet opened our eyes to the practice of turfing, which amounts to trashing a lawn with a vehicle. The Insider knew this practice as doing doughnuts.
Perhaps its a generational thing.
In addition to being a pastime for teenage rapscallions, turfing is British slang for forcing someone to leave a place. As in:
The intoxicated teen, angry to be turfed out of the bar for underage drinking, turfed the establishments lawn.
