LUXURY LANDSCAPE by DLC Resources

With temperatures finally dipping down as we enter October, DLC will begin overseeding your turf areas in just a few weeks. By overseeding in the second half of the month, we allow the Bermuda turf to fill in as much as possible, which should help strengthen its crop next year. However, we will be continuing to lower mow heights on this Bermuda to best encourage and prepare turf areas for the germination winter Rye following the overseeding process. Weather permitting, you should begin to see Ryegrass growing into turf areas by midNovember! With summer coming to an end, crews have also been moving through Toscana to clear bean pod debris from sidewalks and other areas. To aid in the cleanup effort, we have been utilizing our blue sweeper vehicle to most efficiently remove these pesky bean pods. This helps to save time, which can be then spent in other areas of the Community! In selected areas around the Community, we will be removing heat-tolerant summer flowers and replacing them with cooler weather winter flowers. You will see these colorful variations of flowers coming throughout the month, adding a bright look to your fall and winter! Also in October, our Certified Tree Crews will be pruning selected trees around Toscana! With the high winds of monsoon season behind us, this process will help to thin canopies of trees and promote a healthy structure moving forward.
