Naturalizing Property

Kingsville is naturalizing a piece of property off of Conservation Boulevard, next to the storm management pond. Naturalization is the process of transforming a cultivated landscape into a more natural landscape. It provides various benefits to people, the community and the environment. 

Benefits of Naturalization

• Attracts wildlife
• Eliminates chemical lawn treatments
• Reduces lawn maintenance 
• Nurtures native plant species

Naturalization takes research, planning, site preparation, and hard work. However, over time, naturalized properties require less maintenance than cultivated properties. 

Planting More Trees

Kingsville Town Council increased the tree planting budget for 2022 to allow additional tree planting at Kingsville's Linden Beach Dog Park and proposed Repko Dog Park. The tree-planting program will commence in the Fall. 

Cold-in-Place Recycling

During our pavement resurfacing project on Road 3 East, we used a Cold-in-Place Recycling technique. This asphalt recycling operation reuses existing pavement as source material, reducing the amount of aggregate and asphalt transported to the job site. It reduces energy consumption and carbon dioxide emissions by over 20% (compared to traditional Mill and Pave projects) and is also less expensive.
