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.
PLEASE CONSIDER THIS CALL

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.

MAIL KIOSK ACCESS TO BE DISRUPTED (UPDATE)
Mail Kiosk will be closed on June 15
After many concerns were expressed by residents, the re-paving of the Gathering Place Parking Lot has been modified. Please click on the following link for the specifics.
MAIL KIOSK ACCESS TO BE DISRUPTED
Re-Paving of Parking Lot Scheduled by Fearrington Homeowners’ Association
CAUTION: Beginning Monday May 24, Blalock Paving Company will be re-paving the parking lot surrounding the Gathering Place. This will impact all the buildings that use this parking area, i.e., the Gathering Place, Fearrington Cares, the Mail Kiosk, and the Fearrington Swim and Croquet Club.
Paving may be completed in 3 days, but inclement weather and other disruptions may mean that interference with normal operations lasts longer.
Vehicle access to the Gathering Place, Fearrington Cares, and the Swim and Croquet Club will not be possible at these times. Access on foot may be possible, but visitors should be aware that a building may be totally inaccessible at some times. Parking along Weathersfield and Swim and Croquet may be possible, but these streets too may be disrupted by construction equipment. It is best to avoid the area if you can.
If you need to visit any of these locations, it is wise to contact the location first for up-to-date information about access.
Access to the Mail Kiosk will be similarly disrupted. Mail delivery may be impossible some days, but we are consulting with the Post Office about maintaining it as much as possible.
We apologize for the disruption and the inconvenience, but it has been several years since the parking area was last paved, and the surface is in serious need of improvement. We ask for your understanding and cooperation while the construction is in progress.
Changes in the schedule will be posted on the Home Page of the FHA Website, https://www.fearringtonfha.org/index.php
