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

- Arrival times can vary. We do our best to give an accurate window, but some factors can cause delays. You do not need to be at the property for our crew to work on your trees.
- It may be necessary to reschedule the project in the case or adverse weather, or other causes that are beyond our control.
- Tree work may have a visible impact on your lawn and property due to the use of heavy equipment, or the dismantling of large trees. This can show up as divots, holes, sawdust, etc.
- While we will do our best to minimize, mitigate, and repair any such impact, we will operate under the assumption that your property can sustain the presence, weight, and movement of that equipment.

You will want to provide a brief explanation of what seems to be wrong (is it continuously running, not running at all or not facing optimally or watering the street or sidewalk?) and where it is located. If possible, include pictures if emailing.

Washington County Sidewalk Repair Grants
Did you know that Washington County has a grant program that you can apply for to receive back a portion of your sidewalk repair bill? Each year the grant is funded with $100,000 to help homeowners reduce the cost of expensive sidewalk repairs. We have reposted their article about the program with links to the resources so that you can apply.
| Sidewalk need repairs? Check out the Sidewalk Repair Grant Program |
| Construction season is getting started and can be a great time to repair damaged or displaced sidewalks. Property owners in the Urban Road Maintenance District can apply for reimbursement this summer on approved repairs. Property owners are responsible for the maintenance of sidewalks adjacent to their property. The Sidewalk Repair Grant Program was created last year to help lessen the financial barriers to repair. The Sidewalk Repair Grant Program will reimburse property owners within the URMD up to $2,000 for the repair or replacement of damaged sidewalks by a licensed contractor. Eligibility details and application instructions are available online. The URMD funds the program, which can award up to $100,000 per fiscal year. The URMD is a service district that supports road maintenance and biking and pedestrian projects. |

Pet Reminders
Please abide by the following guidelines regarding pets;
When outside always keep your pet on a leash (it is Washington County law). Do not let pets run loose within the Community, or within neighboring Communities. This includes cats.
Always pick up your pets’ waste and dispose of it properly.
Be aware that you can be fined for not picking up after your pet.
The cost to clean up pet waste and repair the damage to the landscaping is substantial; this cost is passed onto each Homeowner, even if they do not own a pet.
To report barking dogs, dogs that are off leash or running loose, you can call Washington County Animal Control at 503-846-7041.
Thank you for your attention to this matter.
Do not remove Irrigation Flags
‼️ It’s been brought to Management and the Board of Directors attention that some of the irrigation flags placed by the Association’s landscaper, Pacific Landscape Management, have been removed or misplaced. This email is to request that residents do not remove or touch irrigation flags. There may be additional costs passed on to Arbor Ridge homeowners if repeated technician visits are needed to replace the flags in order for the necessary irrigation work to take place.
Thank you for your cooperation.
Tree Pruning & Removals | March 11 to 13 2024
Tree Pruning & Removals March 11-13th
Please Review Notice in its Entirety – Tree Locations Provided Below
Please be sure to remove any items or vehicles that may be blocking the vendor’s access or be at risk for damage (lighting, decorations, etc.). During this time, there will be workers throughout the Community and around your property to access the trees. For privacy, it is recommended that you keep your blinds and curtains closed.
The vendors will be putting up “No Parking” signs on the trees to be removed. If there is a tree with this sign on it, do not park within 20 feet of both sides of the tree. This is so that the vendors will be able to safely remove the tree without risking damage to residents’ vehicles.
Please do not disrupt the vendor’s work. If you have any questions or concerns, please contact Management. Neither the HOA, TMG, nor the Vendor will be responsible for personal items damaged during maintenance.
We appreciate your patience and understanding while the Association undergoes this important work.
