As was recently shared on the WSG website, Ruppert Landscape will begin its spring and summer regular maintenance in WSG starting per the following schedule:
Weather permitting, these visits are regularly scheduled for Wednesdays each week. If Ruppert cannot come to WSG on a particular Wednesday, the crew will try to come the next day. Please mark your calendars for these weekly Wednesday maintenance visits.
1. February 25 – 28, 2022: edging and mulching of beds on private property (up to the HVAC system) and Common Areas. Edging will precede mulching and will take several days to complete. Triple Shred dark mulch will again be used.
2. Starting March 2, 2022, from spring through fall, Ruppert will be in WSG performing their routine maintenance. (For more information see the Landscape Guidance on the WSG website which includes what is covered under Ruppert’s contract with WSG.)
SPECIAL NOTE: Reminders to homeowners on the proper preparation and placement of leaf bags and yard debris:
1. Per past Landscape guidance, all leaves and small twigs should be placed in paper leaf bags. Leaf bags are available at Lowes, Home Depot, and other hardware stores. Please do not use plastic bags for leaf disposal.
2. Larger branches should be bundled together and tied with twine to facilitate easy pickup by Ruppert.
3. Residents are mindful and compliant with the WSG Tuesday trash and recycle schedule. It would be greatly appreciated if the same could be adhered to for landscape pickup. A Service Notice from Ruppert will be posted by email and on the WSG website prior to the scheduled Wednesday visits.
IMPORTANT REMINDERS, PLEASE:
Refrain from putting brown paper leaf bags or other yard debris out for pickup until the night before, or the day of, routine maintenance on these dates (see above Schedule).
Refrain from leaving leaf bags or bundles along the grassy edges along Weathersfield, Woodbury, and Swim and Croquet. These items are unsightly and detract from the beauty of our neighborhood.
Rather, each Close should designate a “staging area” within their Close to place these items. For example, keep leaf bags in the garage or behind the house; next to or behind garages that are along the entry to your Close.
This will facilitate Ruppert’s removal of these items during their visits.
For those who have regular gardeners/landscapers, please ask them to remove all such debris when they are at your house/s.
Refrain from parking personal vehicles on the grassy edges along Weathersfield Road and Swim and Croquet. And notify contractors of the same. In November 2021, Ruppert aerated and overseeded the grass on both sides of Weathersfield and the right side of Swim and Croquet to the T-junction at Village Way. Parking on these edges hinders the grass from germinating.
Per the above Schedule, Ruppert is planning on overseeding some of the areas, especially on Common Areas and along these three roads this spring.
Additional dates will be forthcoming. Please check your email or the Weathersfield website, www.weathersfieldsg.org for posted Notices and dates.
