Hi everyoneIs it really May already!?  It's unbelievable how fast time is going by it seems and that's no different in the world of landscape management here in our beautiful state of Arizona! With May here, we also have the heat coming with it. May is the month that generally transitions us from spring to summer while we still get to enjoy cooler nights and mornings. We are encouraging our team members to start hydrating the night before that way we are fully hydrated, but as the temperature increases our hydration breaks will be more frequent. We encourage anyone who plans to be outside for an extended period of time to do the same.  The water management department is continually making adjustments to the frequency and duration of our watering cycles as temperatures change.  Our maintenance department is continuing with our turf aeration, fertilizing, and weed treatments including both pre and post-emergent applications.  Please if you have any questions, don't hesitate to let us know. As always stay hydrated, cool, safe and healthy! Make it a fantastic week! Trim Cycle Rotations: - The spring application of granite pre-emergent continues as we speak.   - We are seeing tree debris from non-deciduous trees. The Live Oak trees, Sisso trees and soon the palo verde trees will be shedding foliage over the next several weeks.   - Routine shrub pruning continues in our trim cycle work as well as a detailed blowout of the same area and that is marked on your attached weekly report for your reference. Water Management: -  We are warming up quickly so we are on a more frequent watering schedule as the daytime temperatures continue to increase and the days get longer.                    -  Grass area watering is 4 times per week right now in most cases and never the day before we mow as the grass tends to hold more moisture due to the cooler days and less evaporation. We try to keep turf watering outside of daylight hours as best we can to mitigate evaporation and there's also less wind during the night than daytime.  - If you notice evidence of heavy runoff or excessive watering, please inform us, as it may be a few days before our maintenance crew returns to the site. Weed Control Work Order Notice : The maintenance crew submitted an internal work order for supplemental post-emergent weed control applications that are in excess of the legal amount the crew can carry on their trailers without a certified applicator. We do include a fixed volume of post-emergent herbicide in your weekly maintenance agreement and that was applied during our service this week, but the amount needed to treat the volume of weeds present is in excess of that amount and will need a higher-volume application by our certified technician. Per our maintenance agreement we will dispatch our technician, who will treat the affected areas and it will be a supplemental times and materials (T&M) charge as it has been in recent years. This treatment is expected to take place in approximately the next 3-5 business days. If your community chooses not to apply this treatment and incur the time and materials charge, please advise us in writing immediately. Be advised that we do find this treatment necessary for the desired aesthetics and weed control in your community. 

Hi everyone,Hello spring! We are seeing seasonally-appropriate temperatures right now and have some consistent 90+ degree weather days in the forecast. The very warm days and cooler nights will push our flora into growth mode and with that will bring an increase in watering as well. Our water management team is tackling those adjustments weekly to both grass areas and non-grass areas.  Trees are continuing to fill in as well as plants showing their colors. Maintenance crews will continue to elevate low tree canopies in our trim cycles. Tree suckers and volunteers will now be an ongoing task as well. We will get them removed as we come across them weekly. No rain in the forecast gives us the opportunity to clean storm drains that have no standing water around them and get those areas cleaned up and prepared for the next rainfall event. Weed control is still a top priority, and we are tackling those weekly with our maintenance crews and our state certified applicators if needed.  If you have any questions or concerns please don't hesitate to inquire and we will get you a timely reply. Make it a great week! Trim Cycle Rotations: - The spring application of granite pre-emergent continues as we speak. - Frost damage is being removed via pruning as we come through each cycle. That should be completed very soon if not already complete.  - We are seeing tree debris from non-deciduous trees. The Live Oak trees, Sisso trees and soon the palo verde trees will be shedding foliage over the next several weeks.   Water Management: -  We are on a more spring-like watering schedule as the daytime temperatures continue to increase.                    -  Grass area watering is 3-4 times per week right now in most cases and never the day before we mow as the grass tends to hold more moisture due to the cooler days and less evaporation.  - If you notice evidence of heavy runoff or excessive watering, please inform us, as it may be a few days before our maintenance crew returns to the site.

Greetings as we enter the final week of March! As Easter approaches, we extend warm wishes for joyful gatherings with loved ones. To encourage enjoyment of outdoor spaces, our water division will temporarily suspend irrigation to all park areas this weekend, allowing for unrestricted access. Starting April 1st, we'll transition to our summer field schedule, commencing operations at 6 a.m. To ensure a peaceful start to the day for everyone, we will not initiate the use of power equipment until 7 a.m. This adjustment will enable our team to focus on quieter tasks around the community beforehand. Wishing you a delightful Easter Sunday filled with laughter and cherished moments. Should you have any inquiries or require clarification regarding our revised schedule, please don't hesitate to reach out. Make it a great week! Trim Cycle Rotations: - The spring application of granite pre-emergent continues as we speak. - Frost damage is being removed via pruning as we come through each cycle.  - As fast as tree debris fell, we are already seeing trees showing new buds. Arizona's tree life cycle is certainly very unique. - We are seeing tree debris from non-deciduous trees as we get into spring. The Live Oak trees, Sisso trees and soon the palo verde trees will be shedding foliage over the next several weeks.   Water Management: -  We are on a more spring-like watering schedule as the daytime temperatures continue to increase. -  Dormant grass watering will be approximately twice per week this time of year in most cases and that's primarily for trees in the grass areas. This will increase when we hit April and prepare for aeration of the turf areas.  -  Rye grass watering is 3-4 times per week right now in most cases and never the day before we mow as the rye grass tends to hold more moisture due to the cooler days and less evaporation.  - If you notice evidence of heavy runoff or excessive watering, please inform us, as it may be a few days before our maintenance crew returns to the site.

Hello everyone,Spring has arrived and you can see it happening all over the valley right now. Plants and trees that were dormant are now coming to life. Maintenance crews will ease up on their cutback trimming and let the flowering plants fill in as we shape others as needed. Our spray techs are still diligently applying both pre and post emergent herbicides. Anytime an application is completed we will attach it to our weekly reports for your reference. Feel free to reach out with any questions, and we will get you a reply as quickly as possible. Make it a great week !

I'm not sure where January and February went, but March is upon us! By now you should start seeing the new growth on plants and trees. Some of the decidous trees have bounced back faster than others, but they will all be budding out again very soon. The spring foliage is always a beautiful site. Our maintenance crews are still in the rejuvenation pruning process and will be for the next several weeks. The maintenance crew is being instructed to focus on the dead on the periphery of the plants in most cases unless the interior of the plant is very woody and then we we will be more aggressive with the rejuvenation pruning to encourage interior green growth. Weeds are still a point of emphasis and we've had spray techs working 6 days per week for the last few weeks to be sure we counteract the weed growth from the rain we had a few weeks ago. We hope you have a great week, and enjoy the best weather of the year! Feel free to reach out with any landscape concerns you have!
