Our new Landscaping Service Bemus Landscape, Inc. does not waste anytime starting to work. Residence noted the posting of several signs "Turf Restoration in Progress" with smaller signs for October 6th:

Chemical Application in Progress Please Remain off the Grass until Dry

Bemus contract was awarded October 1. Bemus also posted documentation of the chemical they will be using called Glyphosate (Roundup). This is a broad-spectrum systemic herbicide and crop desiccant. It is used to kill weeds, especially annual broadleaf weeds and grasses that compete with crops. ■

August Maintenance Happenings

With the appearance of another leak at the Lago Gate on Wednesday when water once again trickling down the street, residents of 4861 Lago and Cabana Buildings became concerned.
Last November (See November Maintenance), residents of these buildings experienced water shut offs about every three days for a similar re occurring leak (sometimes unannounced) which would get fixed and then break again at the same Lago Gate entry. Residents complained about the work of the plumber Scott English Plumbling which culminated in a meeting with the vendor at the February HOA Meeting.
Is this going to be repeat of the same thing? Not exactly. This time it is a leak caused by the irrigation system. Our landscapers Artistic Maintenance is now the responsible vendor. Water has been turned off only to the landscaping parts of the buildings. Of course, Artistic is the same landscapers with ongoing complaints at the Board meetings for the last couple of months. As the plants die, members will observe if this vendor will be more competent in completing the repairs than Scott English Plumbling. Our money is on slightly in favor of the landscapers.■
