This is especially true in the <br /> winter time. Even human foot traffic can cause frost to penetrate the mound resulting in potential <br /> freezing problems. <br /> Do inspect your m�und system annually for winter kili, (reseed if necessary) animai damage, <br /> (burrowing)or signs of potential failure. <br /> Do not plant trees or shrubs on the mound system, smaller trees and shrubs may be planted at the <br /> edges. Remember, that sunshine is the key to a heaithy mound system. <br /> Do ask questions, if you have any concerns or questions concerning your rveound system <br /> please feei free to cali me, E can be reached at 952-249-4626. <br /> 1 <br />
