30 FOUR SEASONS BREEZE | APRIL 2022
Landscape Committee
The Four Seasons Landscape Committee is responsible for
overseeing the landscape maintenance of all our common areas,
including the grounds of The Lodge, The Courts, and The Summit.
We also oversee the front yard maintenance of the homes in the first
few phases of our community and the landscaping in the Springdale
area. We gather on Friday mornings to walk and observe these
different areas with a representative from Park West, our landscape
contractor.
If any resident files a concern about a landscaping issue we will also
visit the area of concern during one of our Friday walks and make
recommendations. Committee recommendations for renovations
and/or replanting are submitted first to the Finance Committee then
the Board for approval. There is an annual Landscape Budget for all
of the areas we cover and it is our responsibility to keep costs within
the budget. We follow a set of guidelines in order to achieve our
purpose and goals.
As a member of this Committee for the past four years, I have
learned so much about the plants and trees that thrive in our climate,
as well as becoming familiar with all our common areas, trails,
streets, and neighborhoods. I have also learned a lot about our HOA
and its day-to-day operations and have made many new friends in
the process. This opportunity has been fun and educational for me
in my retirement.
If you are looking for a meaningful way to get involved in our
beautiful community of Four Seasons, please consider joining us for
one of our Friday walks or attending our monthly meeting on the
third Tuesday of each month at 1 pm in the RCN Conference Room.
