In 2020 the Board in partnership with our property management and landscaping vendors conducted a comprehensive review of all landscaping within the subdivision. Common areas within our subdivision are now more than fifteen years old and the landscaping was showing its age. This natural aging in combination with environmental factors resulted in a deterioration of our subdivisions aesthetic. To remedy this a multi-stage Comprehensive Landscaping Plan was created and implemented to quickly address these mounting issues, improve the appeal of the neighborhood and bring the HOA into a more manageable annual maintenance regimen.

 

The first stage was to focus on the most visually impactful areas and was completed in early 2021. The focus for stage two will be the areas behind the homes and smaller landscaping beds. Stage two is scheduled to begin in Fall or Winter of 2021 to take advantage of off season discounted rates. Below is a list of items included in the Comprehensive Landscaping Plan. Stage two items may be broken up and moved into the 2022 budget year depending on price quotes and available funds. At every stage the Board is careful to maintain a healthy and sustainable annual budget. More items may be added or removed as the need arises.
