Landscaping End of Year Cleanup

Landscaping / By

The Landscaping team will be performing the final activities of the end of year cleanup. This includes some more trimming, aeration, fertilizing and general cleanup. Aeration is planned to be performed in two phases to address both larger and smaller areas. While they make every attempt to leave Bella Vista perfect for the Winter season, there may be a couple of issues that either linger or were missed. If you notice anything, please contact the HOA Board. We will either try to address it now or add it to the list for next time.

Sprinkler SHUT OFF

Landscaping / By

As of Thursday, September 23rd, Bella Vista sprinkler watering will be shut off. Later in October the entire watering system will be flushed out and disabled by Carefree. If you have any questions, contact the HOA Board.

White Posts

Landscaping / By

Why the White Posts? These posts are to alert residents (and others) of “sprinkler heads or water t-box tops” in harm’s way. We have had numerous incidents of residents or residents’s visitors running over and destroying these items. Each incident costs about $100 to fix (which is of course is paid for by your monthly assessments). This is an attempt to limit accidents and cut expenses. Please do not remove or move them. If there is a problem with any of these white posts, please contact the HOA Board immediately. Thank you.

Additional Mulch Beds

Landscaping / By

If your townhouse does not have mulch beds by your siding, those are now scheduled to be dug in the spring (delayed until spring due to various reasons). We want to work with the individual townhouse owners to confirm they want them dug and with JULIE. These mulch beds are to provide protection against siding damage by mowers and weed whackers, as well as to provide those townhouses with additional planting areas. Please adhere to the published Landscaping Policy (under Documents) regarding adding new plants. If you have any questions, contact the HOA Board.

New Sod and Seed Blanket Program

Landscaping / By

Please be advised, new Sod was laid down in Common Areas by Coral Gables Ct. The new Sod Watering program runs at 1:00am and 1:00 pm for 35 minutes each day for Sprinkler Zones 6 and 7 to protect our HOA investment. If you need the Sod Watering program NOT to run because of some planned outdoor activity, please contact Patrick Lee (HOA Board Director) in advance and he will temporarily disable the program. Normal watering schedules are NOT affected by this additional watering. Additionally, Seed Blankets were put down in other Common Areas. Thank you for your understanding and support.

July Financial Files

Financials / By

Please look under Documents for July Financials Part 1 and Part 2. Next month we hope to combine these two files into one file.
