LAWN MAINTENANCE In the case of visible neglect of lawn maintenance and unresponsiveness from the residents, the HOA reserves the right to mow and or edge the resident’s lawn and charge them for the services rendered. A flat $ 80 fee will be charged to the homeowner, regardless of whether the entire lawn will need maintenance, or if only edging (sidewalks, driveways, etc. ) is required. The HOA has discretion as to which services are needed at the time of service. For more information on Deed Restrictions please visit www. canyongate.com/communities/park

Street Trees & Tree Stakes

It is a good time to review the trees on your property and undertake trimming and maintenance, as necessary. Remember to give special attention to your trees, those that are situated between the sidewalk and road. As live oaks mature, their branches have a tendency to dip towards the ground and their canopy needs to be thinned and trimmed. The canopy of street trees needs to be pruned to ensure that the branches do not impede passing traffic. Unused tree stake should also be removed, as they can become unsightly.

Think before you drive

Park Lakes is a community of small families, young adults and seniors who love the outdoors. We have a right to enjoy our surroundings without the threat of tragedy striking through reckless driving. Before you drive, stop and think about your responsibilities. Help us make this a safer place by considering the consequences of one careless moment behind the wheel. If you observe others not driving responsibly, report this to the police and then get involved through neighborhood committees. We must all work together to make a difference.
