Landscaping

Dear Greens Residents:

A number of you have contacted us over the past few weeks regarding the condition of our landscaping, one of the most important features of the community. We are as concerned about the condition of the landscaping as you are.

The Association has taken measures to remedy the current condition which includes bringing in a new landscaping company beginning this week.
To that effect, the new contractor, Twin States Marketing will begin its service Monday morning April 26, 2010. This contractor has considerable experience with luxury developments (including St. Andrews, Woodfield Country Club, Polo Club and Mizner's Preserve) and comes highly recommended.

Turf cuts, hedge and bush trimming, mulching, as well as major tree trimming will occur in the coming two weeks. There will likely be quite a few trucks on the property from time to time, so please keep an eye out for our progress. Once the major work is done over the next two weeks, we will address weeds and fertilization with a weed and feed program to remove the weeds from the lawns and fertilize the vegetation. It will take some time to address all of the weed issues, as they have become quite pervasive, but this will be a major focus of the program.

Please note that the decision to replace our longtime landscape vendors was not easy and before making the decision to switch vendors, Management, in detail, outlined the issues which required immediate remedying. Unfortunately, the conditions did not improve over a sixty (60) day period, and as a result it was recommended and determined that bringing in the new contractor had become necessary. Notwithstanding, we part ways on amicable terms and would like to thank them for their years of service to the community.

We are working diligently to enhance the appearance of our community and are confident that you will see positive results over the coming months. Thank you in advance for your understanding in this matter.

Sincerely, The Greens Board of Directors
