Landscaping Update

Just like everyone else, Sunshine Landscape has had workers hit with COVID-19. To help compensate for missing workers, the rotation schedule has been altered for a few weeks. The gardeners are working as a team and going from one area to the next, working on the back and front of homes. Don't forget we had a good rain recently and weeds love the water just as much as plants. "Raindrops do not choose what they nourish."

You may have noticed the mowing schedule changed this last week. That was also because of workers with COVID-19.

Plants like Lantana and Bougainvillea and some others will not be pruned for a few weeks until all danger of a sudden frost is over. This is standard practice. As soon as possible, these plants will be pruned. The plants may look like they had a bad haircut if frost damaged branches need to be trimmed but they recover quite quickly.

Spraying for weeds in grass will begin soon and is on the schedule.

A reminder for everyone:
If you spot a dead plant, a sprinkler without a plant, wayward cactus, branches brushing roof tops for instance, please send in a work request to Desert Resort Management. You can do this from the SSRC website or using the TownSq app.
