Now that Ruppert Landscape has completed pruning bushes and shrubs located on Common Areas over the last several weeks, it is time for Ruppert to begin pruning on personal property.  This is to notify all WSG residents that pruning of bushes, shrubs, and Holly trees will start on Wednesday, August 11 and continue weekly thereafter until all closes are completed.

Landscape Committee members will distribute colored tape in each Close no later than August 8.  Plastic bags with tape will be placed either on a bench in the Common Area or with a resident who will share the tape with neighbors.  It is critical that each residence clearly mark (tape) their bushes, shrubs, and other plants that they DO NOT wish to be pruned.

Post Rejuvenation (December 2020), a number of Holly trees on personal property were “flat topped” but have enjoyed a good deal of growth since then.  If you DO NOT wish your Holly tree to be pruned, please tape it.  Otherwise, the crew will shape it to restore a more conical shape.

Per Ruppert’s contract, the crew will not prune beyond the HVAC system or behind residences.  The crew has been similarly instructed not to go beyond these points.
