Landscape Report
Linda Janicula reported that the gravel path behind the homes buffering the wetlands on the Lane side of Cedar Springs is completed and looks wonderful. Thirteen Curly Willows were removed and some branches hanging over roofs were cut down. One Curly Willow was left because of a homeowners request. Bruce Janicula secured a fence that was falling. A clematis plant revealed after the tree removal was propped up by Linda and Bruce Janicula. They pointed out that some trimming of plants along the fence line on the Lane side will need to be done in the future.
Bruce reported that the sprinklers are on a 3-day cycle and may need a fourth day in the heat of the summer. Most of the wet areas seem to be drying up and he appreciates the use of hand mowing by the landscape crew. They are slowly trimming plants and cleaning the beds. Bruce and Linda are please with the progress of the 2 man crew from Simply Yards.
