Let’s try this again, hopefully the weather will cooperate this time. 

Team Balboa, Borego and Coral Gables:

Please move your cars to the STREETS Friday evening so we can sealcoat on Saturday June 28 at 7:00 AM. 

Again, this is TENTATIVE and MAY be cancelled Saturday morning… as we cannot predict the weather.

Please DO NOT remove the notices from mailboxes. Please DO NOT drive on the sealcoated areas until Monday morning.

Thank you in advance for your cooperation, efforts and patience to make this a success. 

More as it happens. 

Sealcoating Phase 2

Phase 2 Sealcoating (Balboa, Borego and Coral Gables) is a GO for Friday June 20, 2025, 7:00am. 

Please get your cars out to the streets Thursday evening. Do not park in the Vistor’s parking spaces on Balboa, Borego and Coral Gables as those need to be sealcoated and striped. Please tell your neighbors.

Sealcoating Phase 2

Obviously, Phase 2 (Balboa, Borego and Coral Gables) sealcoating did not happen this morning. The weather was suspect, better safe than sorry. 

It is now tentatively scheduled for next Friday June 20, but the weather forecast is not wonderful at this point in time. Stay tuned, more as it happens.

Concrete Work

07/23/2024

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.

Snow Removal Contract

07/03/2023

The HOA Board has voted to partner with Green Earth to provide Snow Removal services for all of Bella Vista. This is a 3 year contract, with a “1 month cancellation” clause. 

Here’s was the process:

  • Contacted 4-5 companies. 
  • Held review meetings to discuss proposals
  • Discussed multiple “Snow and Landscaping” service bundles (as some like/require that model)
  • Analyzed the “apples-and-oranges” of proposals contents, potential additional services’ costs, and company profiles
  • Analyzed annual budget projections versus projected aggregate cost of services for companies
  • Discussed Green Earth’s (current vendor) historic performance, year-to-year service improvement, approachability and resident feedback 

Over the last 3 years, the HOA has received both positive and negative feedback from residents regarding Green Earth. Honestly, I believe that would be true with any vendor the HOA Board selected/hired based upon the last 2+ years on the Bella Vista HOA Board. We are a community of 77 townhouses (maybe ~130 residents), some residents voice their opinions (either way) and others simply pay their assessments and are thrilled they don’t need to shovel driveways, sidewalks and/or porches. 

As with any vendor, the HOA Board continually monitors services, discusses performance, analyzes costs and makes adjustments to best serve Bella Vista.

As always, if you have any questions or concerns, please let us know. Thanks.
