In the past few weeks our Landscaping Committee has overseen a number of significant enhancement projects across the community that they wanted to share with the membership:

1. The slopes on both the left and right sides of the entry to Quail Ridge were cleared of all weeds and replanted with a wide variety of groundcover and shrubs. This work also extended around the corner on the banks of Swallowtail Road. The community has the responsibility to maintain all of the area and slopes on Swallowtail up to the city park. The stone wall on the left side of the entry gate on Quail Ridge was rebuilt because of large palm tree roots and the associated landscaping will be repaired in the new few weeks.
2. The entry monument on Paseo de las Flores was renovated in late April as well as the entire slope from the entry monument up to Jensen Court on the left side. Two olive trees behind the monument were replaced with magnolia trees. Mulch will be applied the first week of May.
3. The parkway grasses and irrigation around a portion of the cul de sac at the end of Paloma Court was completely replaced with new turf and upgraded irrigation lines.
4. The plants and shrubs in the cul de sac at the end of Hampton Court in Devonshire were replaced and mulch to be applied during the first week of May.
5. Numerous plants and shrubs in the south mesa that had died due to inclement weather earlier in the spring are being replaced.
6. Paseo de las Verdes and Swallowtail Road monuments will be upgraded at the end of May.

There are a number of projects in the queue that will be completed in the second quarter.

The Landscaping Committee welcomes any homeowner to attend their monthly landscaping meetings which are held on the third Tuesday of every month starting at 9 AM. Anyone interested should contact Sandy Gallagher at [email protected].
