LANDSCAPING 

As summer temperatures rise, our landscaping team continues routine mowing, trimming, and maintenance throughout the community. Residents may notice seasonal changes in grass growth and plant appearance as we move through the warmer months. 

Please help keep our community looking its best by removing weeds from personal flower beds, keeping sidewalks clear, and watering plants as needed. We appreciate everyone’s efforts in maintaining the beauty of our community. 

Thank you, and enjoy a safe and pleasant summer. 

Lori Morrow, Chair

Notes from the HOA President – July

Dear Neighbors, 

Let’s talk shop! One of the most demanding and consequential roles within our HOA is that of the Architecture Chair — a position that touches nearly every aspect of our community’s physical well-being. From reviewing individual maintenance requests to coordinating large-scale projects like roof replacements and full building over-hauls, this role requires an extraordinary level of organization, expertise, and dedication. It is, without question, no small feat. 

The Architecture Chair oversees everything from day-to-day homeowner maintenance requests to the long-term planning that keeps our buildings structurally sound — scheduling roof replacements, managing contractor bids, and coordinating comprehensive building renovations both large and small. 

We are fortunate to have Larry Miller serving in this critical role. Larry brings with him a deep background in construction that proves invaluable time and again — whether he is assessing the urgency of a repair, vetting a contractor’s proposal, or mapping out the timeline for a major project. His firsthand knowledge of how both small and large jobs work from the ground up means our community benefits from informed, experienced decision-making at every turn. We are grateful for Larry’s continued commitment to keeping our community safe, well-maintained, and looking its best. 

Building the community and maintaining its foundations together. 

Warm regards, Sabina

Architecture Update

Ah, relief from the heat. Our community pool is open for the season! Please enjoy the pool and ob-serve the rules so that everyone else can as well. Please remember that at least one person in your party should have a wristband with them. Have a great Summer!

Termite Season

TERMITE SEASON IS HERE! 

Our reporting process for the annual termite inspection that each homeowner is required to have done by an official inspector has changed. 

Now instead of providing the inspection report from the inspector to the HOA Architecture Chair, the inspection report will go directly to Carol at Thornburg and Associates. Carol will be tracking their receipt to be sure that we as homeowners are meeting our annual responsibility. 

Thank you, 

Larry Miller
Architecture Chair 

Landscaping News

Spring is in full swing, and our neighborhood is looking better than ever! The recent sprucing up of our flow-er beds has truly made a noticeable difference—they look amazing. A special highlight is the entrance sign flower bed, which has been fully cleaned out and refreshed with a beautiful mix of annuals and perennials. These enhancements help create a welcoming and cohesive look throughout our community. 

If you’re interested in elevating your own landscaping, we encourage you to reach out to Joy Everett. She can work with you to design a customized plan for your property and submit it to the HOA for approval. It’s a great way to enhance your home while maintaining the overall aesthetic of the neighborhood. 

Please also be aware that watering restrictions are currently in place for the City of Hickory. Residents may water lawns and flower beds up to one inch per week. We appreciate your cooperation in helping conserve water during this time. 

Additionally, we’ve received several concerns regarding dog waste in residents’ flower beds and yards. We kindly ask all pet owners to be respectful of your neighbors by walking dogs along the perimeter of the community rather than through private yards. Please do not allow dogs within four feet of residents’ front doors. Always pick up after your pet and dispose of waste properly. 

For those looking for a more open space for walking, there is a large field located behind the neighborhood, across the bridge, where dogs can roam freely while on a leash. 

Thank you for your continued cooperation in keeping our community clean, beautiful, and enjoyable for every-one. 

Sincerely, Lori, Joy & Jerry 
Landscaping Team 

Pool News

Here comes the fun! I hope that everyone is excited for another pool season. Davis Bryant has been hard at work already getting things cleaned up. We always aim to open around Mother’s Day and if the stars align, we will! 

You will hear a bit of noise between now and then as there will be pressure washing and fence repairs being made. In addition, a new, self-locking gate door mechanism will be installed that will help secure our pool for owners, renters and guests only. Once the installation has been completed, a zip-top bag containing your new pool key will be distributed with two numbered wristbands included. An explanation of how these are to be used will also be inserted as well as posted in our community website documents. 

Our biggest focus is, and will always be, having your safety in mind. Once we open, please enjoy and have a great pool season.
