New Landscaper 2024
In the past 6 or 7 years, this community has been through a number of landscapers. Why? To put it lightly, they weren’t good enough. They gave excuses as to why things weren’t getting done, rather than just doing them. We had to walk the property with them, showing how “we want things done” even though they were regular things any landscaper should be doing on a regular basis, but they would say “that’s above and beyond regular.” You’d think we were asking them to make this place look like Disneyland, when all we wanted was to ensure weeds were…

More Vandalism in the Parks
Well, I was about to post on the new table and benches we added to the parks, but then someone or some persons had to and ruin things… again. They flipped the newly installed table between the group of trees on it’s side, pulling the concrete supports out of the ground with it. This was, well is, the 3rd table for the parks and was the reason we had placed a 3rd trashcan and grill in that area earlier. I say, “is” because the table seems to be ok, but it will need to be installed again, with deeper supports,…

Theft & Damages in the Community
Recently there have been theft of flowers from the entryway monuments on Acoma, tampering with the solar lights, and damages to community property including the message board and shed. This cost the community money and, in the end, you the residents will pay for it with increased fees and possibly fines, unless we do something about it. During my (Jason/President) on the Board, my main goal was to make this community look better with flowers, plants and more and to drive a sense of an actual community and friendship by having meet ups, BBQs and events like we just had…

Downed Tree and Park Erosion Updates
We had a large tree come down a few days ago during one of the high wind storms. It was located just behind one the of entry way monuments on 175th and Acoma. We have a crew on site today to remove it. It’s a big visual loss for the area and another tree should be replanted there. Park Erosion I’m sure it goes without saying that we’ve all seen the taped off section in the large park where we had some erosion issues do to the park flooding during the that large storm where it rained all day and…

Vandalism & Theft Will Not Be Tolerated
In recent weeks, the community has had sprinklers broken, value boxes had wires cut, the new shed was broken into, the new message board has had all of the push pins removed, kids placed their homework in it and section titles that were printed just for the message board were tossed out and its also been noticed that kids are hanging and climbing on the new disc golf nets. This not only costs us money to fix and/or replace, but also has led to the flowers to die in the eastern side monument on 157rh and Acoma. As the Board…

Light Shines on Our Monuments
We have added some solar lights to the monuments as you enter from Acoma. These lights not only shine a little light on the community name but also are part of our efforts to improve the community visuals and show nearby residents and visitors that we care about our community and how it’s viewed by others. As part of those efforts to improve the community, we also are trying to make it safer. We already added one large LED solar light in the park to help bring some light to an otherwise darker area. But we have seen various people…
