To maintain your investment of living in a garden community, yearly landscape basic treatments are necessary to keep your maintenance cost low and ensure the health of your investment. The following outlines your yearly planned treatments.

For moss applications, we spray the turf areas where moss develops. This application is to eliminate moss, which can become unsightly and can overtake turf. The process takes approximately 5 hours to apply.

To ensure the treatment is most effective and activated properly, we will be temporarily programming your irrigation system to run shortly after the application.

This light watering helps the product absorb into the moss and begin working quickly, promoting a healthier, more vibrant lawn as we move into the growing season and to prevent turf damage.

There is no need for any action on your part our team will handle both the application and irrigation timing. Once the treatment has had time to work, your irrigation will be returned to its regular schedule.

Stay off the turf until dry, approximately 2-3 hours.
Recommended service to be applied in April/May and December/January.
Material Safety Data Sheets are available upon request (SDS Labels)

Thank you,
Pacific Landscape Management

Any questions please reach out to our Management Company

Recently we have sent the following letter to specific impacted homeowners to help remind them of the maintenance on non-HOA arborvitaes and provide an option for a fence style that has been adopted by the board.

September 4th, 2024

Dear Homeowners,

This letter serves as a reminder for those whose properties back up to a black chain-link fence where arborvitae is planted. These trees, located inside the fence, are owned and maintained by the respective homeowners. Both the Board of Directors and some homeowners have observed that certain arborvitae, particularly those near walking paths, wetlands, and green spaces, are showing signs of distress and require attention.

As outlined in the HOA governing documents, homeowners are responsible for maintaining these arborvitaes as part of their landscape. This includes watering, trimming, and replacing any trees that do not survive. Please note that the Association’s irrigation and landscaping contracts do not extend to arborvitae planted within a homeowners’ backyard inside the black chain-link fence.

Recognizing the potential cost of maintaining these trees, the Board has adopted a new policy aimed at reducing long-term maintenance expenses for homeowners. At the September 2024 board meeting, the Board approved an option for homeowners to replace arborvitae in these areas with a “Solid Panel Good Neighbor Fence with Top Cap.” This policy was also shared with homeowners during the Annual Meeting in October.

This approved fence style offers a straightforward installation next to the black chain-link fence only, and provides several benefits, including:

• Restoring homeowner backyard privacy
• Maximizing usable homeowner property space
• Reducing long-term homeowner maintenance costs
• Ensuring a consistent and cohesive aesthetic throughout the neighborhood

The fence seamlessly complements both existing healthy arborvitae and the current “Good Neighbor Fence with Top Cap” design used within the community.

Important Note: Homeowners with healthy arborvitae that prefer to retain their trees, are not required to replace them with a fence. This policy is simply an option for those who wish to replace distressed or dead arborvitae in the future. As always, homeowners are expected to maintain any existing arborvitae and fencing as specified in the HOA governing documents. If you desire to make landscape and exterior changes, please visit our website: https://www.arborridgeonline.com/forms/architectural-review/ and file an ARC Request for changes.

Meeting Minutes are posted only after they have been approved by the board at the following meeting. For Example – Meeting on Jan 1st would be Approved on the next meeting and posted to the web site. If the next meeting was Feb 1st, then that is when they would be posted.
