From almost the exact moment Arbor Grove Homeowner’s Association was formed, neighbors stepped up to volunteer to help ensure our 22-acre community and the land surrounding our buildings are well-maintained and aesthetically pleasing. The goal is healthy lawns, plants, shrubs, and trees – resulting in good curb appeal.
The original Landscaping Chairpersons were Sandy Davis and Lois Ware. These two Master Gardeners rolled up their sleeves, pulled out their shovels and wheelbarrows, and did an amazing job with a variety of neighbors volunteering here and there, including Wayne Tholen, who offered sage advice.
Over the years, our subdivision has been completely built out, with so much more to take care of. As we grew, more and more neighbors jumped on board to become part of this active community, which, to this very day, invites all members to help keep it in tip-top shape. Recently, the committee welcomed Bob Bond as our new Landscape Committee Chairperson. But of course, former chairpersons Lana Berns and Brenda Randazzo, and our entire committee, will be at his side to lend support.
The Landscape Committee is, as always, wanting to welcome new members! Anyone interested in lending a helping hand, offering their expertise and time, or just experiencing the sheer joy of working in the sunshine while keeping our greenspace looking great, reach out to Bob and join our fine committee.
Members include:
Cathy Allers Alice Argyelan Larry Beeman
Lana Berns Jan Ford Brenda Randazzo
Diedra Richards Sandi Frenzke Donna Scott
Some of the activities will include:
- Spring survey of all trees and shrubbery, late March/early April, to note any winter damage, dead bushes, and declining shrubbe
- The landscape vendor will be on site for Spring cleanup again in late March/early April.
- Mowing will begin in mid-April/May.
- The irrigation system will be opened typically at the beginning of May.
- And anything else that comes our way.
Every homeowner and resident of Arbor Grove needs to be familiar with our Community Policies, especially regarding landscaping. If you haven’t read them in a while, just click here:
Community Guidelines and Amenities, and make whatever effort you can to help keep our greenspace looking great!
We all live in this community, so we all have a responsibility to help keep it beautiful.
Please remember: if you have a landscape issue, fill out a landscape request form to notify the committee. Not only does this help us address your concerns, but it also creates a historical notation for future reference.
