DEC 2021 – Monthly Board Meeting

  • Call to Order
  • Guest- Jason Little – Landscaping
    • Laura: What is plan for the year
      • Jason: Best option to convert the north side to a Zoysia to retain the scalloped bed fill and still have turf rather than add mulch yearly. Irrigation already in place.
      • Laura: Maples roots have pushed out the beds. Sod would solve for it.
      • J: Most of the boxwood hollies have died-off – need to tear out and replace with more colorful plants. As well as some items in. the medians where we’ve trimmed back.
    • Chuck: Can we get a plan together for front and elsewhere for improvement.
      • Jason: Yes. I had done a plan a few years back. Will update and provide quote.
    • Sam: Replace boards on fence and paint; get a quote for composite; will need to have the bushes trimmed up (March-April) to allow contractor. Courts. 5-6 bushes need trim back, covering sidewalk; 3-4 has huge cypress tree needing removal.
    • Sam: Ideas for alternatives around pools (esp around artificial grass, mulch or rubber mulch)?
      • J: have you considered just pouring concrete and expanding the deck? Would be cheaper and provide more usable space .. Diamond cuts blend well. (in answer: we could use potted plants, for aesthetics)
