Park Ridge News-Landscape Notes

Just like you, the board too has noticed the recent decline in the quality of our landscape. We noticed the very dry spots and also the very over watered spots. We noticed the water spraying our stucco and recently repaired wrought iron. We noticed the dirt covering our sidewalks. We noticed the lack of greenery and beauty.

We reviewed our contract and called on our landscaping company. Board members conducted a very thorough walk through with the sales representative and the crew manager from the landscaping company. We conducted extensive tests of the sprinklers. We discussed the greenery and foliage. We were able to point out many items that needed attention and improvement and made it quite clear to our vendor that we have been a very loyal customer for years. In other words, we told the landscaping company to step it up or be prepared to step away.

Harvest Landscape took our walk through seriously and we are pleased to announce that you should see some serious improvements in the very near future. We will be cleaning, adjusting, repairing and capping sprinklers where needed.

Look for new ground cover being planted in front of our clubhouse shortly. This ground cover is called Red Apple. We are excited about it and hope you like it too. This ground cover has a wonderful feature-it may be clipped and planted in other areas of our community as well.

The up and coming improvements are at no cost to the association. We welcome your comments and reviews. We look forward to working with our volunteers on the up and coming projects as well.

Thank you to a cohesive and active Board of Directors. Thank you to a professional, knowledgeable and involved Management Company. Thank you to the community. Your willingness to become involved and be hands-on is a breath of fresh air.

Let’s work together to renew Park Ridge!
