We are pleased with our new lake maintenance company, AquaPond. They have been extremely helpful in maintaining our lakes, and offering advice on improving our systems. We will continue to work with them next season. We are using AquaDoc for repairs and maintenance of our aeration system and fountains.

Landscape Report
Tasdens Lawn Service has done a wonderful job this season keeping the common areas looking great. We are in the process of having the dead trees and bushes planted in the spring, replaced this fall. They were under warranty.

We are placing 10 evergreens to the right of entrance #2 for privacy and to maintain a cohesive look to the neighborhood. We have no plans to extend the fencing at this time.

docks
There are very specific deed restrictions about the construction and maintenance of docks. To protect the lining of the lake, all docks must be cantilevered properly and no posts shall be in the water. If your dock is falling or slanting into the water, it is your responsibility to repair the damage caused by improper construction!

Street Trees
All residents must have a live street tree on their property. The Cleveland Select Pear is the required tree. Contact Chad at CZ Property Enhancements @ (419)-508-1147 by Oct. 10th to order your tree!
