We take a proactive approach to landscape and maintenance by conducting a monthly property inspection of the Common Areas, and also checking for architectural/rule violations. We then provide the Board/Committee Members and the appropriate vendors with a copy of our inspection report, which lists landscape, maintenance and violation issues to be taken care of.
