Survey Results: Landscaping

You’ve probably noticed that we have replaced several hundred plants and trees. What we have found is that our clay soil does not allow proper drainage and most of our dead plants and trees are the result of water not draining causing root rot.
The grass in phase III Park has come in nicely. A little reseeding is needed then we can consider it finished. We are also working closely with the landscaper to fine tune the irrigation cycles in order to reduce water consumption.

Vandalism

As we look back over the past few years, we can recall several instances of vandalism resulting in painted decorative rock, water lines pulled up and out, holes punched in the ceiling of the pavilion, driving across the round-a-bout, damaging others property, and the list goes on. Please talk with your children and others about this seemingly growing problem. Encourage them to be respectful of others property. Vandalism is very expensive for all residents, because the damaged property has to be repaired or replaced. Let us all work together to make Bridgerland Meadows a great place to live.

Being Good Observers

If you as a resident see or hear things that need the HOA attention, please notify Sharon at 755-7829. Last week we located a Pit Bull living in a rental unit. First the renter is not to have a dog on the premise (CC&&R provision) and second the dog is over the 20 pound weight limit. The HOA needs to be informed so that action can be taken. So please, report inappropriate acts or violations of the CC&R’s so we can address the issues.

Survey Results

Thanks, to all who returned the survey. There is definitely good information in your responses and we will begin to address your suggestions. Each month, for the next several months, we will report in the Rendezvous our efforts to respond to the concerns you voiced through the survey. We will first address “Landscaping”.
1. Weeding, replacing dead plants and trees; This is on-going. This cool and wet spring has hindered the use of weed killers. When the weather warms the landscaping company will be more efficient in controlling weeds including dandelions. We have begun replacing trees. We have also given most trees a nutrient supplement as they have not “greened up” yet. We removed the trees along the South boundary because of the number we were losing through wind and vandalism. We will be replacing them with a more durable bush.
2. Courtyard maintenance, gravel areas, drip lines; We really need to rely on the residents to keep the court yards tidy. The landscapers will replace plants and mow. Bicycles and other items really detract from the overall appearance. We will order more gravel for Phase I areas needing refreshing. It is a special rock we get from Farmington subject to availability. I believe we have buried most of the exposed drip lines. Please remind children not to pull these up as they are both unsightly and the plants die without water.
3. Pet dropping and lawn damage; We need to constantly monitor dog droppings and can use everyone’s assistance. We will begin to reseed the dog damaged areas in the next few weeks.

New Construction

Please ensure that your children do not play in or around the building currently being constructed. We’ve witnessed that children are playing at the site and can really get hurt. Please ask your children to stay away from the site. Now that school is out, children will be looking for things to do. Please counsel with them about being good neighbors and residents.
