HOA Spring Letter
Spring is here! With the warmer weather upon us, we wanted to share some tips and/or reminders regarding property maintenance. Remember, the appearance of your property can greatly increase the property value of your home and community. As a friendly reminder, here are some items that we encourage you to look at:
â– Lawn Care – Annual grassy weeds, like crabgrass and foxtail, are easily stopped in the spring, when the seeds are tiny seedlings are most vulnerable, so they don’t become a problem in the summer. Please apply weed preventer with lawn food to improve the health of your lawn.
â– Lawn Maintenance – Higher temperatures, means increased growth. That said, please plan to mow, edge, and weed your lawn more frequently than the colder months, which are typically weekly during the Spring/ Summer months.
â– Exterior Maintenance – Please refresh exterior paint to include the home, trim and garage doors. Any siding should be cleaned to remove mold/mildew. Additionally, please remove stains/dirt from driveway that have accumulated over time.
â– Inoperable Vehicle(s) – Please refrain from parking and/or storing any type of inoperable vehicle in public view. The Association has noticed an increase number of inoperable vehicles in the community, which is both a violation of the deed restriction and an eyesore. Please take the time to either relocate the vehicle to the garage or store offsite.
â– Pet Owners – Please remember to clean up after your pet “upon any public property or upon any private property with out the permission of the owner” Please be considerate and pick up your pet’s droppings.
Please remember maintenance is not limited to just these items. Feel free to contact our office should you have any questions.

HOME MAINTENANCE
Protect One of Your Most Valuable Investments by Developing a Consistent Maintenance Schedule
By doing some simple preventative maintenance, you can extend the life of your home and minimize costly repairs.
Painting - It is important to put a good coat of paint on your home which may mean painting every three to five years on an average, depending on the quality of the paint. Painting obviously improves the appearance of your home and protects your wood or hardi-plank from the elements reducing rot. Do not forget your ACC application along with paint color samples, which must be processed and approved first!
Power washing – Take a walk around your property. If you see green or black mildew on your home and driveway, you can power wash the mildew off your gutters, home exterior, driveway, and sidewalk. This small step of maintenance can keep your property looking well maintained.
Gutters - Gutters need to be cleaned out on a regular basis. This time of year, they fill up with pine needles and leaves. If the gutters are full of leaves and pine needles, they will not drain properly and will need to be cleaned. The extra weight will cause the gutter nails to become loose and the gutter will sag or fall from your home. Gutters are important as they protect the fascia boards.
Landscaping - Trees, shrubs, and seasonal flowers add a great deal to the value of your home and the community. Remember that over time trees and shrubs can become overgrown and unsightly. Please keep your landscaping well-trimmed and yard edged so that it enhances your home and does not interfere with the street.
Street Parking- Please keep in mind that that the streets belong to the City. Please report all street parking to Harris County Constable Precinct 4 non- emergency line at 281- 376- 3472.
Sincerely,
Your HOA
