Update on Landscape Projects

  • Our major project for this year - 28 Shepardson - is done except for the finishing touch of mulch. It looks great thanks to the design efforts of Corinna and the great plants selected by Rick from Jensen.
  • Most of the plants for the remaining locations are already on site and will be planted shortly!
  • The mulch for the path to Bay from Sheffield came from the large Alder by the lagoon that had to be removed.

Next Landscape Walkthrough to be Scheduled

The next landscape walkthrough will likely be the week of Dec 9th. The date and time will be posted as soon as I can confirm with Detra and Rick. Due to the holiday - there wasn't a walkthrough last month. This will be the last walkthrough for the year.

The focus for the walkthrough will be:
1 - Irrigation - The irrigation has been turned off in compliance with East Bay MUDs request for reduced water usage in this time of severe water shortage. Rick has checked various locations and verified that there is enough moisture in the ground to sustain plant life. However, if you see any plants that look distressed, please post a comment or let Detra know so that we can check them out.
2 - Pruning (especially ivy from buildings). Are there places where ivy or shrubs is growing on the building?
3. Leaves - Due to the mild weather seems like most of the leaves are still on the trees. However, if you see any areas with an excessive build-up of leaves please let me know.
