Landscaping Update

Tomorrow Wednesday, June 19th, Schill Grounds Management will have a crew at our development to do pruning of all shrubs located in the front portion of our homes. Tree limbs close to the house or touching the structure will be pruned.  Per the current HOA contract, this does not include any work along the sides of the properties nor in the backyards unless previously requested through Jim Schill and there is a fee for that work.  Any resident with a sprinkler system is requested to turn if off so there is no watering tomorrow morning so workers may safely access the shrubs and tree areas as needed.  Note: if you have any specific requests as it related to the area to be pruned, please submit it to Bill Sweeny via email and be specific.  Please provide a contact telephone number if Bill or the landscaper needs to confer with you about your instructions.

During the next two following weeks, all customers of Schill will have their regular scheduled maintenance day changed and they will be unable to make an early notification of when they are coming to cut the lawns. Every effort will be made to notify residents.  The purpose of this temporary change is due to the high volume of customers that will be having picnics and other events for the July 4th weekend.  No maintenance will be done during the long weekend to accommodate all customers. We will have our lawns taken care of each of the two upcoming weeks so don’t worry about that.
Weed Control (organic mixture) was applied to all lawn areas a couple of days ago and due to high temperatures, a slight discoloration may be noticeable but will dissipate within the next day or so.  Watering will be very helpful.  Note:  During hot temperatures and high humidity, please try to water your lawns and flower beds daily.  Refrain from watering in direct sunlight  as a high percentage of water will evaporate and it will burn the leaves. Watering should be in the early morning before the sun is directly on areas and in the evening hours at dusk.  Watering is extremely crucial for survival of of our lawns and flowers/shrub beds.
Schill will be adjusting the lawnmower blades for cutting to 3-1/4 inch height for grass cutting. With proper watering this should cut down on browning of our lawns.
Any specific questions or concerns related to landscaping services, please contact Bill Sweeny via email or if urgent timely attention is required you may call me at residence or cell. Make sure you provide a return contact number so I can respond.   Many Thanks.
