Upcoming Turf Treatment/Renovation & Pruning Schedule
Subject: Ruppert Landscape
Turf Treatment/Renovation: Aeration and overseeding of grassy areas throughout Weathersfield will take place on Thursday, September 28, weather permitting. Prior to the aeration process, Ruppert will cut the grass lower than normal to allow for deeper penetration of seed.
This is an expensive undertaking since turf renovation consists of double aeration of the affected areas, the application of lime, reseeding, fertilizer, and initial watering upon installation.
NOTE: Please do not park on the verges along Weathersfield, Woodbury, and Swim and Croquet since this will inhibit new growth. Also please ask that your contractors also not park heavy trucks and equipment along these same verges.
Pruning on Private Property: Pruning of bushes, shrubs, and holly trees on private property will begin on Wednesday, October 4 (weather permitting) – on a Close-by-Close basis. Pruning will continue the following week if necessary.
Plastic zip bags with colored marking tape will be distributed to each Close one week before pruning is to begin 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 with tape 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.
NOTES: (1) 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. (2) Bushes and shrubs in front of windows need to be pruned to the lower window level and those along entry way railings need to be pruned away from siding to both protect the siding and allow access for maintenance contractors to work.
Fall and Winter Schedule: Ruppert Landscape will begin its fall and winter routine maintenance in Weathersfield starting in November on an approximately 10-day schedule.
Thank you for your cooperation and consideration.
