We saw many sprinklers in the yards all summer -- thank you for watering and keeping grass green! Now just get your rakes ready for autumn leaves, and spend a weekend tidying up your plants now that the air has cleared.
Yard Maintenance
Until the wet weather settles in, tend to your grass by continuing to mow while growth is still visible and edge one more time.
Apply a winterizer fertilizer to help strengthen your grass and choke out those pesky weeds.
Fall is the best time to prune most trees and shrubs. And if you lost any plants to the heat, remove them.
Side Yards
Homeowners are responsible for keeping side yards clean and tidy. Don’t use them for storage, and be sure to weed them occasionally.
Street Trees
If trees get too tall or wide, it’s the responsibility of the homeowner to prune.
If you notice “sprouts” growing at the bottom or out of the tree, they need to be cut.
Preparing for Snow
Purchase a snow shovel and deicer now before everyone rushes to the store.
If it snows, it is YOUR responsibility to keep your driveway and sidewalks clear. The HOA does NOT plow streets, that is the responsibility of the city.
