Reminder: Rejuvenation Pruning Begins January 12

Ruppert Landscaping will begin rejuvenation pruning on Tuesday, January 12, 2021, and, weather permitting, the project will take four days to complete.   The Landscape Committee would appreciate your having all decorations and lights removed from bushes, shrubs, and railings by January 2 at the latest.

Rejuvenation pruning will give shrubs, bushes, and trees the opportunity to thrive by appropriately trimming and cutting away the excess growth and removing dead or dying sections. Rejuvenation allows our plants to renew themselves and flourish in a natural way.

Rejuvenation is not being undertaken merely for aesthetic purposes.  The purpose is to care for our properties, maintain their values, and enhance the beauty of our neighborhood and green common spaces we all love and enjoy.  Let us appreciate the valuable work the Ruppert managers and crews contribute to this goal by giving them the courtesy, respect, and cooperation that they deserve.

For detailed information on the purpose, process and procedure for this project, please read:  WSG Rejuvenation Pruning

Please contact David Piet, WSG Director, Landscaping Committee, if you have questions.

Tree Pruning Scheduled for Week of December 14

Davey Tree Expert Company

In August 2020, Davey Tree conducted a survey in WSG IV to identify what pruning of branches and trees needed to be done to keep our homes and community safe and attractive.  The survey specifically identifies exactly what pruning needs to be done by house number, Close and Common Areas.

The purpose is to “Prune the trees throughout the community to clear the homes, chimneys, garages, lights and signs as much as appropriate for the respective trees.”

A crew from Davey Tree will be on site starting Monday, December 14 for approximately one week, weather permitting.

It is important to note that this pruning will not impact the homes where holiday decorations and lights have been put up.
