Vista Landscape Center Donates 3 Tons of Soil for Tortoise Habitat

Aug. 29, 2012 - PRLog -- Earlier this month, Vista Landscape Center donated 3 tons of soil to Tortoise Group for the construction of a compact aboveground burrow, to offer protection for a tortoise during the summer and winter.  Vista Landscape Center provided the necessary amount of soil with the highest water-holding capacity possible for the safest home for the tortoise.  

During the early morning of August 11th, volunteers happily gathered at a local home to create a tortoise habitat by shoveling and moving wheelbarrows full of soil.  In addition to 3 tons of soil, construction of this habitat included cement blocks and plywood for a private and cozy home.  The burrow is designed to be safe from the risk of flooding and allows the tortoise to be out of any air flow while allowing the tortoise to still be within sight of the owner.

Kathy Utiger, who led the project to create the habitat, is recommending Vista Landscape Center for landscape supply.  Vista Landscape Center offers materials including decorative rocks, boulders, flagstone, sands, topsoils, gravel, and more around the Las Vegas, NV area.
