GLAD YOU ASKED: Ruts to remain awhile at church
Q: There’s a mess in the yard at Holy Family Church after some work was done on the building. Some of the grass is dead and there are ruts in the ground. When will that be cleaned up?

A: Puetz Corp. was part of the initial structural work on the Holy Family side steeples and not the most recent work that has occurred at the church, said Puetz Corp. Project Coordinator Mark Puetz.
The tuck-pointing was contracted directly between the church and the mason for this project, and knowing the equipment needed for this type of work, it would be impossible to not create ruts in the grass and topsoil, Puetz said.
“The reason the area has not been smoothed out and reseeded is because future tuck-pointing is planned for other sides of the church, and the current disturbed area will be used again for access to those other areas,” Puetz said.
“It was determined that repairing the landscaping at this point in time would not be a prudent use of dollars when the same area could be torn up again in the next phase of the tuck-pointing process.”
