Oakley Residents Offered Free Wood Chips to Assist with Continuing Drought Conditions
|
Wood chips are available for pick-up Saturday, March 26, 2016, 8 a.m. - 11 a.m. at the City Yard at the corner of Neroly Road and Main Street (entrance on Neroly). Oakley residents need to bring their own tools/shovels and bags/containers to load and carry the mulch, and a tarp to cover if necessary. Residents are asked to not take more than 5 yards at a time.
The wood chips are from trees pruned and/or removed from the Oakley/Brentwood area. The chips are organic and coarse, and mixed with leaves and twigs, and the quality varies. It is not like the commercial bark products you purchase from a landscape store, but provides the same benefits.

Landscape Improvements Completed at Two Parks
|
The City of Oakley Parks and Landscape Division finished smaller landscape enhancement projects at two neighborhood parks.
Nunn-Wilson Family Park received renovation to the irrigation and landscaping along Oxford Drive. The work included installing drought tolerant trees and shrubs, walk-on bark, and in-fill of missing or dead plants. Jesse Dela Cruz, Parks and Landscape Foreman said, "The result is a much more pleasing landscape frontage, a reduction in maintenance, and a savings of water."
 With the completion of the small subdivision adjoining Cedar Glenn Drive, and as a condition of the development, a mini-parcel was given to the City that is contiguous to Shady Oak Park. A sidewalk, a small amount of turf, drought tolerant trees and shrubs, and walk-on bark were installed at the newly added parcel. Several bollards still need to be installed and a bench and picnic table may be added at a future date.
