Yard Upkeep

HOMES

Yard Upkeep

The community is full of beautiful , flourishing gardens this year . As such , Members are reminded to maintain their gardens throughout the season as they can quickly grow out of control . It is very important for homeowners to address the overgrown trees , weeds , plants , and grass timely so that fellow residents can enjoy the beautiful gardens without enduring the bugs and animals that overgrown areas tend to attract .
Homeowners are responsible for maintaining the appearance of their landscapes and should mow , weed , trim , and edge regularly to ensure that it fits in with their neighborhood ’ s ambiance . Not only does maintaining the growth of the plants around your home promote a visually aesthetic neighborhood , but it also can prevent wear and tear on your home . Oftentimes , plants touching homes create a moisture pocket which breeds mildew / mold , as well as attracts unwanted pests .
Friends of the Lake is a great committee available for Members to reach out to regarding lake-friendly landscaping . Residents of the community and committee members often write articles for LakeTalk regarding their lake-friendly landscaping journey and the LLA Member Account Knowledge Base has a detailed information created by Friends of the Lake specifically for lake-friendly landscaping .
Keep in mind that homeowners are responsible for all the yard waste that comes with maintaining the lawn / garden . Homeowners are encouraged to utilize yard waste pickup provided on Wednesdays . Residents must use disposable paper “ lawn bags ” or a container labeled “ Yard Waste ”. Only yard waste that is properly presented at the curb will be collected . The trash contractor will not collect yard waste in plastic bags . Leaves , grass , and clippings must be placed curbside by 6:30 am on Wednesdays for Yard Waste Pickup . Sticks and limbs must be bundled , and bundles may not be larger than 3 x 3 feet in size . Please remember , sod and dirt are not accepted .
Thank you for your continued efforts to keep Lake Linganore lovely .
