160615 L3 Update

Over the years the perceived purpose for the Native Area Maintenance has shifted away from its original design. The mowing of the native areas, or Level 3 commons, is solely a means to minimize potential damage to homes, immediately adjacent to these areas, in the event of a brush fire. There are other benefits associated with the process, but they are not motivating or causal factors.

Our mowing team is sent out first, and will mow up to 30 feet beyond the property lines wherever possible. Trees, rocks, and ledges, do not always cooperate with this primary objective. We have a line trimming team that follows the mowers, and focus on those places the mowers miss or cannot reach. They can be 2 to 3 days behind the mowers.

160608 WM EB – June Watering

The weather has returned to an almost seasonally appropriate trend. My recommendation for watering would be 2 days per week, and between 80 – 100% water budget/seasonal adjust. Weather forecasters are suggesting the possible return of rain next week, so be ready to turn those controllers off.

The Water Matters Team is available to help familiarize you with your irrigation system. If you need help setting up your controller, or would like a complete and thorough evaluation of your irrigation system, send an email to WaterMatters@SCTexas.org , or contact your Neighborhood Representative. A Water Matters Ambassador will come to your home to assist you.

160520 L3 Maintenance Plan

Weather permiting, we are planning to beginning our bi-annual maintenance of the Native Common areas the first full week of June. After much discussion, it has been decided that we will no longer be alternating our maintenance path through the campus. It will be consistent going forward. The only changes made will be to accommodate newly developed areas acquired by the CA. Below is a list of our neighborhoods and the order we plan to follow.

Phase 1

38, 27, 13, 7, 1, 4, 6, 5, 3, 2, 35, 9, 10, 12, 60, 37, 36, 8, 11, 34, 15, 14, 33, 26, 25, 24

Phase 2

16, 28, 22, 23, 30, 31, 32, 41, 40, 43, 42, 44, 45, 21, 29, 20, 19, 18, 17, 46, 62, 47, 48, 49, 50, 51, 52, 53, 54, 55, 56, 57, 58, 59
