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
- 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/
- 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 and foxes that live in our neighborhood, poisons used to kill vermin is 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 rehome critters to a forest or prairie miles away from our homes
