this isn’t added vegetation i’m referring to, it’s overgrown grass, weeds, brush. And that wouldn’t explain why some homeowners are having it weedeated to match the grass level in front of their property.
They want natural growth to solidify the soil and chemical balance while also not manicuring it while the project going on is practical. There’s still different things that are going to happen along the shores at different points. They are building up land at different points as well.
My only real issue has been with May street. They mismanaged that aspect imo.

Sinker Cypress is an extremely valuable wood. Research it.

Well aware. My statement still stands about the location making it something no one wants to deal with.
The contractor saying it is low grade leans towards that. Or that the cypress hasn't been down that long.
Trying to get a board milled or planed usually means a deposit for the cost of the blade due to these reasons.

How long do you think the cypress has been buried in mud under water?
Posted on 7/1/26 at 7:24 pm to kayjay
Longer than a day? Beyond that I would be guessing.
If they were extremely valuable someone would be getting them.

Then you have forgotten what they looked like at the start. They were scum covered algae pits. They still have a long way to go though

I see. That makes sense. If that’s what Josh was trying to relay as well, my mistake.

They put them up for sale a few months ago and no one bought them.

Wasn't that one of the hold ups when the project was starting? I thought the contractor wanted them but the State said no, it's State property.
eta: Or was that mostly nonsense?

This almost certainly isn't sinker.
Any ole Cypress being sunk for some time doesn't make it sinker. Sinker requires specific conditions and microbes to "convert" it over a long time.
Plus this swamp was cleared by people when Huey flooded the lakes, making foreign contamination much more likely (that destroys sawmill blades).
Research it.

I saw some of it for auction on the LA government auction site a few months ago. They had it listed as "pallet of random sinker wood"

So you’re saying that people want 20 feet of natural grass and weeds between the bank where people walk and stand to look at the lake and the water of the lake and that is better than having a bank or bulkhead?

So is it floater cypress?

Patrick Martin and his ilk got involved and changed designs. The lakes won't be dredged deep enough to make a difference, but at least he got his island.
