Nancy, you are mis-informed.

The stone requires constant water so the rock itself doesn’t suck up water once it is mixed with the other materials to form the concrete.

It has nothing to do with dust or clean cars.

I have complained to water & sewer, channel 9, york county sheriff's dept and everyone says it is not their jurisdiction. Water runs constantly from 6:00am to 8:00pm every day. The water literally is running off their rock piles!!

The only downfall for bermuda in our area is it goes dormant in lower temperatures. So, while other lawns with fescue look very green for many months in the spring and fall, bermnuda lawns are brown. We seem to need a hybrid mix for our mix of temperatures. Some folks in our area have been using organic fertilizers and soil treatment on their fescue lawns and had some better luck holding on to greener lawns in the hot weather.Thanks for the comment Ann Marie Yep, bermuda thrives in the 80 plus degree heat.

It seems to me that the wrong type of grass was laid in our yards. It should have been bermuda grass (I think that is the name of it). It goes dormant in the winter but comes back every year looking green and lush. I've noticed that some people have replaced their lawns with this type of grass. I'm hoping that it catches on.
