Im sure many of you have noticed that most of the mulch in the beds surrounding the clubhouse has been removed and replaced with 3/4" native stone. For better or worse the mulch was replaced to meet new fire code laws brought to our attention by the Dartmouth town fire inspector. The new fire code states that "Mulch shall not be applied within 18" of any combustible portion of any commercial building". Unfortunately the wooden shingles on the clubhouse qualify as combustible.
