PETS, DOMESTIC AND OTHERWISE

Now that summer is here, make sure your pets have plenty of water and use caution when walking them on asphalt, which can become extremely hot on their paws. In addition, please leash your pets and always pick up after them.
Snakes, including copperheads, are a fact of life in Fearrington Village. They are best left alone, undisturbed. Snake bites almost always occur when the snake is inadvertently disturbed, so your best bet is to try to avoid them altogether. For more information, see our website:

Notice for Spring Pruning (May 22 – 31, 2024)

Ruppert Landscape will be pruning in WSG starting Wednesday, May 22 to Friday, May 31, on a Close-by-Close basis, weather permitting. This includes bushes, shrubs, and small trees on both personal property and in Common Areas, especially around parking areas.

The plan is to start on May 22nd beginning in the Common Areas of each Close starting near the Grove and working down to Swim and Croquet. This should take 2 to 3 days to complete.

Once the Common Areas have been completed, Ruppert will start pruning on private property starting May 29th, again starting at the Grove. Weather permitting, this should take 2 to 3 days.

If some Common Areas were missed, Ruppert will complete pruning in those areas after private property has been completed.

Hopefully, pruning should be completed by the first week of June.

Plastic bags with colored marking tape will be distributed to each Close and placed on a bench in the Common or with one of your neighbors. Please check the bench or with your neighbors to obtain the tape. It is important that you use the tape to identify any plants that are on your private property that you DO NOT want Ruppert to prune. Anything NOT marked will be pruned.

Once Ruppert has finished in your Close, please remove the tape from your plants and leave any unused tape on the bench in your Close for pickup.

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

Thank you for your attention and cooperation,

David L. Piet, Landscape Chair
