Due to the high cost of snow removal this year, the board has decided to make some changes in landscaping services. We will revisit the issue periodically throughout the Spring and Summer to determine how best to provide service to the community while conserving money. The following changes will be implemented:

-Volunteers will trim the Mill Race Trail
-Stop mowing and trimming hedges at the corner of Race Rd. It is not HOA property.
-Stop mowing the area opposite 732 & 734 Oella Ave (steps) and stop trimming the bush
-Mow only every other week: behind 927-947 (Spring Street) and the area of Pleasant Hill Rd. between the guard rail and the wall on Oella Ave.
-The "Tot Lot" grassy area behind the antique store should be left to naturalize, according to our master landscaping plan. We have decided to keep a path mowed to allow residents to pass through. This will be mowed every other week.
-Bushes and hedges will only be trimmed once. Mulching will only be done this Spring. The board will decide later in the year if we can proceed with Fall hedge trimming and mulching.
