Lagos Vistoso

As we all know, the last couple of years has been hard on our landscape. The landscape committee met with Terra Verde to plan how best to replace the trees and plants with Hardier species. The layout is designed to reduce the number of plants to conserve water and give a cleaner look to the community common area. See the attached diagram with the placement of the trees and plants. We already had a couple of community members request we not plant a tree in front of their house. If you have lost a tree and are not interested in having it replaced, please let us know as soon as possible by submitting your response to landscaping@lagosvistoso.us. The deadline for responses is February 1st. Plants will all be 5 Gal in size and receive new drip lines Trees will be 24" Box and receive new drip lines Plants will be: · Red Lantana · Outback Sunrise · FireCracker · FireBush Trees will be: Live Oak   Thanks Jim Warren and Chip Stoecker Landscape Committee landscaping@lagosvistoso.us

Reminder to remove Holiday Decorations As a courtesy to our community, it is past time to remove any remaining holiday decorations. There are several homes that still have Holiday lights and Christmas decorations on display in their yards. Please take the time to take these decorations down ASAP.  Any decorations still up after this weekend may result in a violation being issued.  Thanks for your support, Jim Warren HOA President

Hello Everyone The algae in lakes 11 -14 went crazy on the 1st and is getting worse every day.  The algae has pretty much covered the entire surface of the water except where the aerators are pushing the water.  The lake smell at night is getting stronger by the day. I assume that is from the algae and no wind to dissipate the smell. This year we have endured the hottest on record. In 2023 we had 127 days over 100, with 55 of them being over 110.  So far this year, we have had 134 days over 100 with 80 days being over 110.The weather forecast indicates that we will not see below 100 degrees until mid October. Here’s hoping we do get a break in the heat soon! I understand that we have to be careful about using chemicals while it is still very hot.  I certainly don’t want more fish to die and all of the associated work and cost.  The new algaecide and a foam inhibitor will be applied later this week.  Hopefully the new algaecide will help us address the algae problem.     Thank you, - Lagos Vistoso HOA Board of Directors  

The algae has been a challenge this year. Doing small treatments was helping but the fear is that algae would keep growing and spreading into other lakes and cause even more problems. We did an algicide treatment on Thursday (27th) to address the heavy algae levels in some of our lakes.  We know the treatments will cause the oxygen levels to plunge when this kind of treatment is applied. The heat also adds another factor in lowering the oxygen levels in the lakes. The combination of the two can cause less hardy fish to die. Our lake vendors have been contacted and they will be removing  the dead fish as soon as possible.  Thank you Gary

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.
