Pruning Postponed

While the pruning of bushes, shrubs, and Holly Trees on private property had been planned to start at the end of July, in consultation Wednesday with Ruppert Landscape, they strongly advised that such pruning be postponed until the weather cools substantially – e.g., day temps in the low 80s and night temperatures in the mid-to-upper 50s or low 60s. 

Due to the past and continuing heat wave in our area, if pruning were to be done now it could compromise or kill bushes and shrubs. And, that is not the result we wish for since each of us has put a great deal of hard work into keeping our garden areas beautiful.

Please keep the tape with a neighbor so that it can be reapplied when pruning is rescheduled.

As soon as Ruppert suggests an appropriate time, a new Notice will be posted on the WSG website and via email.

With sincere apologies for any inconvenience this has caused.

Thank you. The Landscape Committee, David Piet – Chair

Pruning of Bushes, Shrubs and Holly Trees

Pruning of bushes, shrubs, and holly trees on private property will begin starting next week – July 27 (weather permitting) – on a Close-by-Close basis.  Please use colored tape to identify any plants you DO NOT want Ruppert to prune. Tapes will be placed on benches in each Close this weekend so that you can prepare. Once property has been pruned, please remove the tape from plants.

Thank you.

The Landscape Committee, David Piet – Chair

Rental Cap Proposal

The Weathersfield Service Group Board of Directors decided last month to draft an amendment to the covenants placing a 12% cap on the number of Weathersfield houses that could be rented.  In preparation for that process, the Board has assembled a number of points for you to consider in deciding whether you will support that amendment.

A paper copy of that document, Weathersfield Rental Cap Proposal:  Points for Homeowners to Consider was delivered to each unit and is available here.
