Spring looks to be finally starting in Michigan. Here are some friendly reminders as we move into the Spring weather and home sales. Let’s do our part to keep our neighborhood looking great.
- Borders are the responsibility of the co-owners to keep well maintained
- If borders are to be changed or added, we need a modification request
- Specifically, if big trees are to be removed/added, a modification request will be needed
- Changes in the layout/size of the borders require a modification request
- Fences require a modification request
- Changes to the exterior of your home will also require a modification request
Click here – Modification Requests – Fox Glen Association for an easy link to our Modification Request Page
- Green moss growing on homes, specifically on North side of the house facing the front yard should be removed before Fall
- Recommend either hiring a power washing company or purchase power washer to clean the moss
- See article for advice and how moss damages the siding – http://www.wetandforget.com/blog/2019/09/11/clean-siding/
- Review the Limited Common Elements that should be action-ed upon from last Fall’s review
- Fox Glen Association Limited Common Elements Dashboard
- The Board will be reviewing and updating scores for completed items
- Spring Tree Maintenance review with Guardian has been completed.
- Please leave the orange tags on the trees for Guardian to identify the work order
- To see the assessment, click – FGHOA-Guardian-Walkthrough-2025.pdf
- Love is in the air – critters will abound
- Chipmunks and field mice like to dig out our pea gravel from under the sidewalks
- Rabbits and squirrels like to dig in our gardens and damage our flowers
- We have birds of prey, coyotes, and foxes that live in our neighborhood; poisons used to kill vermin are strongly discouraged as we don’t want to cause damage to our ecosystem
- We also have cats that are outdoor/indoor who may also catch the rabbits, chipmunks, squirrels, etc. – they also may be negatively impacted
- Recommend using live traps and re-home critters to a forest or prairie miles away from our homes
