PREVENTIVE MAINTENANCE OF ROOFS

To: All Weathersfield Residents

To further improve our drive towards preventative maintenance (heading off trouble before it starts) we asked our roofing company to inspect our roofs and identify any problems during a planned roof cleaning project.  Once the roofs were blown free of leaves and pine needles in late Fall, the contractor did find a considerable number of defects that included most of the roofs in our community.

After reviewing the work, we have decided to have it done in one block. It will begin on February 14 and likely proceed until the end of the month.

This letter is to make you aware that the contractor will be needing access to most of the roofs in the community during that time. We realize this can at times be inconvenient, but we hope to have all your cooperation. As we get closer to the onset of this work, we will attempt to notify you of the schedule for the individual Closes.

Failure to address the potential weaknesses and other defects would likely result in roof leaks that could lead to further damage to the interiors of our homes and costly repairs.

Please feel free to contact Larry Layton or Steve Krasnow with any questions that you may have.

Sincerely,

David Spencer, Weathersfield HOA Board President

WEATHERSFIELD HOMEOWNERS AND RESIDENTS

As was recently shared on the WSG website, Ruppert Landscape will begin its fall and winter general maintenance in WSG starting on:

Wednesday, November 24, 2021, and Monday, December 06, 2021

Maintenance on these two days includes leaf removal and general turf maintenance. Mowing will be done on an as needed basis. Please mark your calendars for these dates and please refrain from putting out brown paper leaf bags or other yard debris until the night before, or the day of, routine maintenance on these dates.

Starting in December, Ruppert will spot prune and begin preparing beds for mulch as well as general cleanup and maintenance.

To reiterate:

Ruppert recently completed aeration and overseeding on the grass on both sides of the Weathersfield road and the right side of Swim and Croquet to the T-junction at Village Way on November 12, 2021. For the grass to germinate over the fall and into the spring: (1) please do not park vehicles on the grassy edges along these roads and (2) notify contractors or other visitors not to park on the grass.

It would be appreciated if all residents are mindful of keeping WSG clean and beautiful over the coming months. Thank you.

Additional dates will be forthcoming. Please check the Weathersfield website, www.weathersfieldsg.org for upcoming dates.

WHAT ARE THOSE PLASTIC-COVERED SIGNS ON SWIM AND CROQUET? (UPDATED)

Many of our neighbors have been asking about the covered signs that have “popped up” along Swim and Croquet. This street is one of 25 roadways in Fearrington Village (and 64 roadways in Chatham County) that will be resurfaced by the North Carolina Department of Transportation sometime between now and June 30, 2022. Unfortunately, more specific dates are not available from the NCDOT at this time.

The specific roadways in Fearrington Village that are scheduled to be resurfaced are marked in blue on the attached maps.

Notification Pruning of bushes/shrubs/trees on Residents’ Personal Property WSG Landscape Committee (August 4, 2021)

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.

Fall Pruning in WSG

As many of you have been aware during the latter part of June, Ruppert Landscape has been pruning hedges around the parking areas as well as other bushes/shrubs in Common Areas.  This was done due to the post-Rejuvenation growth that needed to be trimmed and the hedges reshaped.

The annual pruning, which will take place in the early fall 2021, will include:

  • Bushes/shrubs on personal property (in front and alongside of resident houses and up to the HVAC system).
  • Holly trees on both personal property and on Common Areas that were “flat toped” during Rejuvenation but now need to be reshaped.
  • Bushes/shrubs on Common Area that may need additional light pruning.

As before, the Landscape Committee will distribute colored marking tape in each Close so that residents can mark bushes/shrubs that they do not wish to have trimmed/pruned.  A resident may request that specific pruning be done.  But not beyond the HVAC system or behind their personal property.

Residents will be notified via the WSG website on the actual dates for the annual pruning this coming fall.
