Spring

Is Spring Here?

I hope so. At least the weeds have sprouted. Our landscapers have started the spring cleanup, cutting grass, edging, trimming, and picking up debris.

At the beginning of April we will have a new landscape company, Turf Builders. 


These guys have walked the property with the landscape committee and know our high expectations. There will however be a learning curve, so be patient.

They will be here on Thursday, just like our former landscapers and will perform the same tasks. So, please unlock your gates and put your pets inside on each Thursday.

We have changed our garbage service also. 


Burt’s Mastercare will be handling our refuse pickup starting April 1st. He will give the same high quality service as we had with our previous contractor. He will also be here on Thursday

The association has a duty to bid out these services each year for the best and lowest bid.

The previous contractors did an outstanding job the last year, however the new contractors will save the Association quite a bit of money each month and allow us to maintain our current HOA fee amount of $130.00 per month.

You may email me at NormanRMIller@yahoo.com or the Chairman of the Landscape Committee, Kathryn Shaffer at kaherriott@yahoo.com if you have any questions about the new contractors.
