Green Ribbons in Shrubs: Planned Removal

In the April 2026 board meeting the board approved the removal of the dying and overgrown Dwarf Alberta Spruce trees that are in front of homes throughout the neighborhood.

The green ribbons in those and a smaller number of other shrubs in the neighborhood mark those designated for removal.

Big Red Lawn and Landscape will then be coming through to remove those that are marked.

Those with two ribbons are marked to have their stumps ground down (at an additional cost for the extra stump grinding) so that a new plant/shrub can be added in that same location later.

If budgeting allows, we hope to be able to approve new evergreens that would be added to the corners of each building to frame each building.

The Board would also like to be able to improve the landscaping in front of each home and between those corner evergreens, but this is also dependent upon being able to find a place in the budget for the costs of doing so.
