My Story
MAINTAINING OUR ASSOCIATION’S WALLS
While renovating the association’s walls, we’ve noticed that some plant materials, like overhanging branches and nearby trees or roots, are causing damage to the association’s walls. This pertains to all properties that border the Association’s walls and fences (bordering the park, Walnut, Culver, school, pool & block end concrete fences)
Plants and/or Trees can cause:-
Structural Damage: Roots can crack wall foundations.-
Drainage Issues: Roots block drainage, causing flooding.
What You Can Do:
1. Trim Regularly: Keep branches away from walls.
2. Plant Strategically: Plant trees far from walls.
3. Monitor Roots: Watch root growth and consult an arborist if needed.
4. Remove Problematic Plants: Replace damaging plants with less invasive species.
Please inspect and ensure that all plant material and trees are cut back and away from the Association’s walls. We appreciate your immediate attention.
