Lawn Maintenance
Lots will be maintained on a schedule that depends on the time of the year and weather and site conditions. Currently, the HOA lawn care maintenance contract allows for individual yards to be mowed and trimmed weekly, during the height of the growing season, typically April through October. Mowing and trimming during other than the peak growing season may be done on an as-needed basis at the discretion of HOA management, however this should only be expected in the event of unusual weather and growth during winter months. Be aware that rain events will impact the scheduled days that your lawn will be maintained. Please make sure that during the day that any miscellaneous items (i.e. sports equipment, toys, etc.) are removed from your yard. If the lawn care company deems that there are too many obstacles in your yard, or if you have a pet that is left out, or if you have pet feces in your yard,then the lawn care company may elect (at their sole discretion) to not mow or trim you yard on that particular day. Other services included are: Curb and street edging herbicide spraying (beds/pavement) and, shrub pruning, trees (less than 12 feet in height) pruning 1 time per years, and an annual nutrient management program including weed control and fertilizer applied twice per year. To the extent an individual resident desires more frequent mowing and trimming, such resident may do so at his or her own cost, subject to compliance with the terms for the Nutrient Management Plan which was included in each Owner’s disclosure package.
Note to those residents that install rear yard fences : Please make sure that you follow the Architectural Guidelines which require that a 4 foot-wide gate be installed to allow access for the maintenance company to mow or hand trim your rear yard.
