Tree Trimming

Starting Monday, September 16^th, an extensive structural pruning of the Live Oaks will begin.  The project is overdue and the club has committed funding for the project.  The trees are at the point now where emergency vehicles, waste management trucks, parking, common grounds maintenance and the long term health of trees are compromised.  I have reviewed the project extensively with talented arborist and we are making the right cuts.  In some we are taking a tree out of a tree.  We looked hard at the lower big limbs and they were deemed to be reoccurring problems where in a year and a half with regrowth, we are right back to where we are today.  Most important, we are making sure the tree is balanced.  Affordable Palms who did a great job in all the structural lift on oaks will be handling this project.

Parking areas will affected.  We will be blocking off some areas with cones to prevent any damage to vehicles.  The owner of the company will be present along with myself to answer any questions.

         We will set-up at 7:30 a.m. and begin pruning at 8:00 a.m.  We will begin at Veranda building 5251, Unit           #516 and proceed to Unit #521.
