Our neighborhood trash pick-up day will not change with the new trash company merger happening. Our HOA Assessment Dues include regular trash service weekly. 

To set up personal recycling service - call any company directly for that service. Recycling is not included in your yearly HOA fees.

 VERY IMPORTANT!!!

COMMONS AREAS NEED TO BE DRY SO THAT THEY CAN BE MOWED

Please be aware of the day that the mowers come and adjust your watering schedule. IF IT RAINS and your property is next to a commons area then PLEASE do NOT water your lawn on  mow days.

PLEASE TAKE A MOMENT AND CHECK YOUR SPRINKLER SPRAY RADIUS TO BE SURE YOU ARE NOT FLOODING ANY COMMONS AREAS :)

OUR LAWN CARE COMPANY

 CAN'T MOW IF YOU RUN YOUR SPRINKLER AND THE COMMONS AREA IS TOO WET 

Let's try to remember to set our sprinklers 

to run on days when the Lawncare guys 

aren't coming :)

When this crazy Kansas weather dumps some rain on us: PLEASE turn off your sprinklers!   

THANK YOU!!

We try to mail out a community newsletter every quarter so that you can see current happenings in our neighborhood.

The most recent newsletter has announcements such as:

BULK TRASH PICK UP DAY

Including all of the guidelines and instructions for getting bulk trash picked up in our area. Each year we try to schedule a day for us to gather up unwanted items that are too big to dispose of in the trash bins. This helps each of us from having to find the means to get these items disposed of properly and without too much hassle.

POOL OPENING DATE

Each year we post the pool opening date, the pool rules, and the closing date so that you are aware of what's happening. Our pool is PRIVATE and ONLY for our current residents: if you share your pool code with someone other than immediate family you could lose your pool privileges.

NEIGHBORHOOD COMMITTEES

We have several committees that help our neighborhood immensely! These are homeowners who have committed to helping our neighborhood look nice and run smooth. Beyond the committee people are neighbors who ALWAYS chip in to help with many things but aren't named and we also THANK them for this!
