Saul Ascencio with the City of The Dalles spreads a mixture of compost and dirt at the triangle at 12th and Kelly Streets on Friday, Aug. 7. He had previously trimmed the tree seen here and also installed drip-line irrigation. He said they expected to add bark chips and flowers in days to come. It’s part of the city’s overall beautification committee’s plan, which also sends postcards to homeowners thanking them for keeping their yards beautiful.
