- Landscaping Update: Recently there was a mowing of the open space. More area was mowed because of Poison Hemlock found in the open space and in order to contain the spread of this contagious weed it was necessary to mow and spray the effected areas. As a reminder, if you have landscape concerns or notice an area in need of attention, contact Mr. Lee Cox, landscape liaison, in writing. Mr. Cox walks the community regularly with the landscape service provider.
Please do not adjust the landscaping sprinkler timing systems. These are to be adjusted for proper landscape maintenance by Parsinen Landscape Maintenance only. If you have suggestions as to possible adjustments you would like to make to your timing system, contact Lee Cox in writing.
- Exterior Maintenance Update: Since the summer months are upon us, it is necessary for common exterior maintenance work to be conducted. This year we have hired a new contractor to do a less invasive roof cleaning to the effected areas. They will also conduct a moss treatment that will prevent moss growth for an extended time and result in less roof maintenance. The homes that are slated for this years roof treatment are listed below. Please be aware that this is a necessary maintenance to ensure the lifetime warranty of your roofs and ensure aesthetics of your community. We appreciate your patience.
