Trimming is scheduled (depending on weather) for 1st or 2nd week in September. Warning: They may not trim bushes exactly like you want, so if you don’t want them to trim them… put a small fence around the targets and they will skip them. We have over 1000 plants in Bella Vista… there also is a possibility they may miss a couple or not do a fantastic job on a few. It happens in life.

More mowing and herbicide. As always, don’t let your animals graze.
07/09/2025
No mowing July 10. Some trimming and weed killing going on. Very exciting.
07/01/2025
There is a sprinkler controller issue for Coral Gables and Borego. It is being addressed.
06/25/2025
Along with mowing, herbicide will be put down. It’s Ok for dogs, just don’t let them eat it.
06/11/2025
Bush trimming is scheduled for Monday June 16. Please remove all your trinkets from harm’s way as landscapers are NOT responsible for accidental damage of stuff in the mulched areas.
Remember, if you don’t want plants trimmed, put a small fence around them. Landscapers are NOT going to trim every species of plant to your expectations/likes. It simply is not going to happen.
05/18/2025
Sprinklers are turned on for the season. They start about 4:00am if you want to watch them. They go about every other day except Thursday (landscaping day). If you see one misbehaving, note the exact location, then let the HOA Board know. Thanks.

Scheduled for May 1 and 2, Mulch refresh and Spot Spraying of Weeds. Reminder: we aren’t doing spring herbicide yet as we recently “overseeded”.
03/13/2025
The Landscapers are planning to perform the Aeration and Overseeding in the Bella Vista Common Areas on 03/14/2025 and 03/15/2025.
Please get all your stuff off the Common Areas so they don’t have to work around it.
With Aeration, we always runs a risk of cutting cable lines that are not buried to the proper depth, which is 4-6 inches according to Comcast and ATT. Aeration only goes down about 2.5 inches, so in theory, if the cable companies buried lines correctly, we would have no problems.
10/20/2024
In November, the Landscapers will be doing aeration, overseeding and “end of season” cleanup. The HOA Board has postponed all “sod activities” until springtime. More information on “sod activities” will come in the spring, whenever that gets here.
10/09/2024
As of 10/11/2024 Friday 3:59am, all sprinker/watering systems will be turned off for the year.
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.
09/03/2024
Please be advised that our landscaper will be spraying a herbicide throughout the property tomorrow. (09/04/2024) Please stay off the sprayed area until it is completely dry. Generally 2 or 3 hours after it is applied.
07/22/2024
There will be more weed control spot spraying. Mulch areas especially have weed popping up. Be careful with animals as always.
07/13/2024
Manual watering will be started today to catch up for the “paused watering” on Friday due to weed control operations
07/11/2024
Paused watering Friday due to more weed control operations. The mid-summer surge in weeds is upon us. As always, take precautions around herbicides.
07/08/2024
Landscaping team will be spot spraying clover this week.As always, take precautions around herbicides.
06/30/2024
Scheduled for first week in July. Although minimal risk, be careful with pets.As always, take precautions around landscaping operations.
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.
09/27/2023 Sprinklers are turned off for the year
