GreenCare for Troops: Volunteer Stories

U.S. Lawns - St. Charles, MO

U.S. Lawns of West and St. Charles County takes pride in reaching out to their community for those in need; Project EverGreen's GreenCare for Troops gave them another opportunity to do just that. Workers Hugo Hernandez, David Murphey, and Jessica Murphey provided a much needed community service for one of our military families in St. Charles, MO.

The project consisted of downing a failing plum tree in the back, cutting it into logs. There was much raking to do to clear the tremendous amount of leaves and debris all around the home. The group separated and transplanted some of the perennials in areas to fill in some garden beds and create more color.

Mulching was done in the front perennial beds and around the step stone walkway in the back. Very large grasses were cut back and an extensive amount of weeds were cleaned out along the property line near the back alley.

All debris was hauled away and the property is now Crisp, Clean, and GREEN!
