Irrigation and Field Renovations - July 2019


Scope of Work

The James City County irrigation and field renovations project will restore the two multipurpose fields at the Rec Center back to original specifications, promoting proper stormwater drainage, improved playability and aesthetics. This project includes the revitalization of the existing soils to a depth of 5 inches. Amendments will be added to Field 2. A computer operated irrigation system will be installed to reduce water usage on each of the two multipurpose fields. Both fields will be vegetated by a new, aggressive, wear tolerant, reduced water needs hybrid Bermudagrass.
