Mowing and Herbicide Update

Landscaping / By

09/25/2024

No mowing on 09/26, as the grass is still trying to recover from ~6 weeks of “no rain”.

Additional herbicide will be put down tomorrow, as weeds love rain. A product called Drive XLR8 is being used to combat crabgrass.

As always, try to keep your pets off the grass for a few hours after the application in your area, just to be safe.

In addition, an “organic Greener” is being tested in the large area (previously sodded North side) on Belle Vista.

Street Light Update / Fixed

Uncategorized / By

09/06/2024

Fixed for $330. This is why the HOA replaces the light bulb on our own first (for ~$30) to see it that is the problem.

08/29/2024

We changed the light bulb, unfortunately it did not fix the problem. A electrician has been contacted. No timeline available.

Street Light Out

Uncategorized / By

08/27/2024

The street light on Bella Vista and Bradford is out. We will be checking to see if it is simply the light bulb, which we can change, or if it is something more serious. We change the light bulb first, as if that is the problem, we save about $200 in electrician costs.

Concrete Work

There will be multiple sidewalks replaced over the next few weeks, weather permitting. Costs will be detailed in our financials as always. These replacements are due to “bad concrete and finishing” by Hartz’s concrete contractor. Hartz is not accepting any responsibility for their actions.

Fall Cleanup

Landscaping / By

12/07/2023 Due to the snow last week, the Landscaper’s Fall Cleanup was delayed and rescheduled for either today or tomorrow. 

If you have placed Holiday decorations/cords/whatever in the HOA Common Areas, they are potentially in harm’s way. I advise to move them until the Landscapers work is complete. While they will be careful, as they always are, there is no guarantee they will see everything. 

Please be advised, the HOA and Landscapers are NOT responsible for any damage to resident items placed in the HOA Common Areas.
