NOTICE: Lawn Care at the Cemetery

The Westhampton Cemetery Commissioners are beginning a long process of soil improvement at the town cemetery. The work will be performed in the entire area of existing burial sites.

There will be a pest control application for grubs by a licensed pesticide provider. The area will be flagged for pesticide application once it is applied.  There will also be an application of pelletized lime applied by the superintendent during the same period of time. The lime application is not a pest control application and does not require to be flagged.

Visiting the cemetery is discouraged while the pesticide flags are up. Once the flags are removed visiting sites are ok.

The goal is to enrich the soil so we can achieve a better grass base. This process of applying fertilizer and analyzing soil samples will continue throughout the year.

Thank you for your patience while we make needed improvements to the land.

Any questions or concerns should be directed to John Shaw, Cemetery Commissioner - 413-207-4527.
