Hello everyone,IMPORTANT REMINDER : I want to begin this weekly report with a friendly reminder about our winter overseed proposal that was sent out earlier this month. If your community plans to overseed this year and hasn't informed us yet, please do so soon. This will allow us to place our seed order, schedule your community, and start planning the transition process. Please note that proposals are valid until August 31st, after which we need to finalize our order with the seed vendor. While the Arizona summer is still upon us, we are in far better shape than we were this time a year ago. Our highs are in the normal range and our overnight lows are in the mid-80s, which isn't bad for the grass, plants and trees in our landscape right now. It is optimal growing season for most plants so the trim cycle work and tree debris is certainly a challenge right now, but that's no different from any other summer. The crews are working diligently to handle any storm debris in addition to the week's detail and trim cycle work.                        Please let us know if you have any questions.  Trim Cycle Rotations: - Weed control remains a top priority, and our crew will continue to spray with their 5 gallon backpack and report if more help is needed from our spray tech division   - This time of year we see some difficult weed varieties that our normal herbicide applications have a hard time eradicating and may have to use some other herbicides. One example is thistle (which eventually turns into a tumbleweed). It is particularly ornery and tough.                                                                  - 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. Flower plants will be lightly trimmed for now so they don't become way overgrown and we try to preserve the spring blooms. - You may see certain shrubs pruned and others not in the same cycle, as we try to let them bloom as much as possible with reason Water Management: -  It is still HOT so we remain on a more frequent watering schedule as the daytime temperatures continue to increase and the days get longer.                    - Grass area watering is at least 5 times per week right now with multiple start times in most cases. 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 your management company at hello@heywoodmanagement.com so a work order can be issued.   

Hi everyone,Attached is your weekly maintenance report with hopes that August brings some reprieve from the heat with some monsoon moisture and not just high winds! Tree debris is one of our biggest challenges this time of year. We have pine trees, eucalyptus, and mesquite trees all dropping needles, leaves and seed pods. When you combine that with the wind we get on the leading edge of the haboobs or monsoon storms, it certainly adds to the cleanup challenge, especially if it was in a cycle area where we just worked and aren't scheduled back to for some weeks. Myself and Andrew are doing our best to get eyes on these eye sores and route the crew in order to complete their trim cycle work as well as debris cleanup. In an ideal world we would handle it the next time we are in that cycle, but we realize some areas need to be tended to more regularly in terms of tree and storm debris. We will certainly work diligently to make that happen.  As always, stay cool and hydrated and make it a great week!

Hi everyone,We are in the midst of the dog days of summer with no relief in sight unfortunately. Our temperatures are hovering around 110 during the day and high 80s at night. The lack of cool air at night exacerbates the nutritional needs of the flora and the foliage drop we see with pine trees in the heat of the summer. You may notice pine tree needles piling up as quickly as we can clean them up this time of year.  Our debris cleanup and detail work will be coordinated within our cycles. We've had high winds come through without much precipitation to show for it resulting in broken tree branches, trash and debris. Anytime there is a high-wind event we do our best to handle the urgent needs first and then work our way through the rest. We certainly appreciate your patience with that process.  We currently have a round of turf fertilizer being applied and another round of granite pre-emergent.  Please feel free to reach out if you have any questions and remember to stay cool and hydrated. Make it a great week!

Hello everyone,You know you live in Arizona when you look at the forecast and say "Oh it's only 108 today".... Sunday night brought some high winds (but no rain unfortunately) and that's going to continue as we are in the midst of monsoon season. In the case of monsoons or high wind events, please follow the Emergency Communications protocol at the bottom of this weekly report. It is at the bottom of all weekly reports we send in the case you need to find it quickly. In the event of damage our team will evaluate and prioritize in order of threat to public safety and property safety. If a tree is down in a greenbelt but not an immediate threat to streets, sidewalks or a home we will get to it as quickly as we can. In many cases it may not be the same day, but rest assured it will be handled as quickly as we can. Public safety will be our priority.  Please feel free to reach out if you have any questions and remember to stay cool and hydrated. Make it a great week!

Hello everyone, We are beginning to see some monsoon activity, with some areas receiving rain, a lightning show and some wind. After a storm we will work on blowing out any debris that may have accumulated from Mother Nature's display during the next service visit. The crew foreman will also drive around and report any tree damage and ensure there is nothing blocking sidewalks or posing a safety concern. During monsoon season please follow the protocol at the bottom of this email in bold letters if an emergency situation presents itself. A fallen tree can sometimes create an irrigation leak/break as well if the tree is uprooted in a high wind. We have emergency staff on call 24/7/365!                      4th of July maintenance schedule modification: We will be closed on Friday 7/5 in observance of the 4th of July holiday.  Our schedule for maintenance service will be modified but if your day is different next week we will let you know when to expect our crew. Make it a great week, and stay cool! Feel free to reply if you have any questions about this week's report. Trim Cycle Rotations: - Weed control remains a top priority, and our crew will continue to spray with their 5 gallon backpack and report if more help is needed from our spray tech division   - This time of year we start to see some difficult weed varieties that our normal herbicide applications have a hard time eradicating and may have to use some other herbicides.

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.   After Hours/Weekend/Holiday Emergency Communications : Call our Emergency number: 480-206-6536 ( **this number does not receive text messages**) If not answered, leave a detailed voicemail Name of caller with callback number Name of community Nature and location of the emergency, as specific as possible Follow phone call with email to both Brandon Ridenour and Andrew Roberts with same info as above: bridenour@terraverdelandscape.com aroberts@terraverdelandscape.com

Lagos Vistoso Homeowners -  Below is an update from Estrella Water Systems who manage the lakes at the community... Just wanted to follow up on the report of multiple dead ducks in lake 11. The lake was checked, and there was one found. The Canadian geese that have been around for a while were also spotted on the same lake and it is possible that they are aggressively protecting their goslings and that, along with other possible predators, could account for a dead duck here and there.As to the report of someone being out in a boat treating the lake yesterday, that did not happen. I checked with the other two companies who may have had a reason to have a boat in the water and neither one of them were on the property yesterday. I did, however, treat the east end of lakes 11 and 13 from shore when I was there yesterday morning. As far as any chemical treatment causing mortality of waterfowl, that would not be the case. The algaecide that is used is EPA registered and is safe for fish as well as irrigation use. Also, if there was an issue with chemical treatment it would affect the fish, not ducks or geese.As usual, I am spot treating the lakes wherever possible for the microcystis algae that is prevalent this time of year as well as adding dye. I am also attaching an article regarding feeding waterfowl and botulism in case you would like to share it with the community.

During a recent walkthrough in the community, one of the HOA Board members noticed some food and water dishes in a couple of areas in the green spaces in the community.  This may have been accidental such as someone having a picnic and wanting to provide their pet with food and water and just forgot to pick up the dishes. Or someone may be providing food for stray animals in the neighborhood.  Either way this is a health issue and is not permitted. There are a number of feral cat in the community and as long as there is food and water they will stay. Please do not place food and water dishes in the common areas.

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.

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.
