$6,145 Ogden Lawn and Landscaping. This is for prep and sod in the bare areas along the West side of the parking entrance, and several areas behind the Junior High.

 

Ogden Lawn and Landscaping has been the bid winner for sod projects in the last year. They have done a great job. This job is an extension of another project they are completing around the pavilion.
