Landscaping of South Mission Road medians to begin Jan. 27

FALLBROOK – The Fallbrook Beautification Alliance is happy to report that planting of the South Mission Road medians will commence Jan. 27, with work to begin on the two most southern "islands."

Although planned for more than six months, work was delayed until problems with irrigation and gopher infestation could be addressed and sufficient funds could be raised. FBA contractor Landscape One has redesigned the medians to utilize the existing plants, adding new plants and ground covers as needed.

Landscape One will be working with the Fallbrook Sheriff's substation Senior Volunteer Patrol to close the western-most lane of the northbound roadway from 7 a.m. to approximately noon Saturday, Jan. 27, to facilitate the delivery and installation of plants and materials. The work schedule for the remaining sections of the medians will be announced in the upcoming weeks.
