Meadows of Brushy Creek OUR NEW WHITE ROCK FENCE

Vista Ridge High School

Project Graduation 2013

Our long-awaited fence is now complete! We thank everyone who has been inconvenienced by the delays. We can all say, “Look at our new fence!” It might take a few months for the members of our HOA to accept the fact that this fence will increase our property values.

Another way to keep increasing the value of our homes is by making sure that the view from the street is always one of clean and well-groomed areas. Remember to keep all trash cans behind the fence or out of sight. Remember also that boats, unauthorized vehicles and trailers are not permitted on the property.

One more important concern of everybody is WATER. This year we will look harder at ways to keep our yards and open spaces beautiful and well-groomed.

Please let the HOA know your concerns and give us your suggestions to solve some of these problems. Together we can keep the Meadows of Brushy Creek a beautiful place to live.

- HOA Board

Yard Of The

Month

March is only a couple short weeks away. That’s when we can expect our flowers and shrubs to start blooming. Each month the HOA Board will be picking out a “Yard of the Month.” We’ll be looking at the landscaping, design, and overall appeal of our lawns and gardens. Each month the winning yard will be honored with our new “Yard of the Month” sign, and the owners will be awarded a small token of their hard work. Good luck to everybody!
