Neighborhood Repairs

Many of you may have noticed that some of the tree lights and the Fairfax Meadows sign light at the Sun Meadows entrance are not working. We have contacted the lighting company and they will be out this week to make repairs.

We have also been in contact with the City of Plano to do repairs to the brick wall along the alley of Fair Valley Way. They have assured us we are on the list for repairs and have asked us to be patient as they have many brick wall repairs going on in the City of Plano.

Watering Guideline Changes

Per the City of Plano:

Effective immediately, the City of Plano will allow irrigation between the hours of 10am and 6pm through March 1st to reduce icing of streets and sidewalks during winter months. All other Stage 2 watering restrictions remain in place including restriction to two days per week.
 

Water restrictions are expected to continue through 2013 due to low lake levels. Everyone is encouraged to operate irrigation systems manually in order to provide efficient and cost-effective watering.

HAPPY NEW YEAR!

Wishing you and yours a happy and healthy NEW YEAR!

The Importance of Watering Your Lawn

The Texas heat is taking a toll on all us and especially our lawns this time of year. It is especially important to keep our lawns and other landscaping watered on a regular basis. Per the City of Plano's regulations we are currently allowed to water our lawns twice per week and use soaker hoses and hand watering as needed. Of course, healthy, watered lawns make our homes look so much better and protects our property value, but there are several other reasons that regular watering is necessary. Keeping your lawn watered protects your home's foundation. A cracked foundation due to dry ground shifting can be extremely costly. Keeping your lawn watered on a regular basis is also a common courtesy to your neighbors who are trying to keep their lawns watered and healthy as well.  Finally, watering your lawn and landscaping on a regular basis and keeping your lawn alive and attractive is a requirement of your Fairfax Meadows Homeowner's Association Covenant's and By-Laws. Let's all do our best to keep things alive and well during these hot summer months! Happy Watering!

Neighborhood Landscape Update #2

A second chemical treatment will be applied to the red tip photinias at the front of the neighborhood in the next few days. The landscape company believes this is the best plan to make sure no residual disease is left. The cost of these two treatments is far less costly than having to replace all the shrubs if they were to become sick and die. We are hopeful this treatment will save the shrubs.

Neighborhood Landscape Update #1

As many of you may have noticed, a few of the red tip photinias at the front of neighborhood have lost their leaves. After consulting with the neighborhood landscape company it was recommended to the FMHOA Board that the shrubs be treated for disease. This was done today, July 16, 2012. The landscape company hopes that this will help the diseased shrubs recover and prevent the spread of disease to the other shrubs.

Twice Weekly Watering Resumes June 1st

Beginning June 1, Plano residents can operate sprinklers twice weekly as the City of Plano steps back to Stage 2 water conservation measures. The Stage 2 watering schedule allows odd addresses to water on Tuesday and Friday; while even addresses water on Monday and Thursday. Even with the loosening of the schedule, watering is still not allowed between 10 a.m. and 6 p.m. During the weeks we have rain, please turn off your sprinkler system. Foundations, new landscaping, first year plantings of shrubs and trees may be watered within a 10-feet radius of their trunk for up to two hours any day by a hand-held hose, a soaker hose or a dedicated zone using a low-flow irrigation system. Watering twice a week is optional, and you can choose to stick to once-a-week watering. The city offers a variety of free classes to help you conserve water year round. Thank you for cooperating in the City of Plano’s ongoing effort to conserve water. For more information, visit www.plano.gov/water.

Keeping Our Neighborhood Clean

A clean neighborhood is good for the environment, beneficial for residents, and helps to grow property values and community investment. Cleaning up any trash, debris and old newspapers goes a long way in making our neighborhood a beautiful place to live and is a guideline of our HOA Covenants and By-Laws. Old newspapers left in yards for days and/or weeks at a time is unsightly and can also be a signal to criminals that no one is home and make a home a target to burglary. Let's all work together to keep our properties neat and tidy!

Good neighbor tip and it's the law!

Spring has arrived and its time to start doing lawn work again. Remember, if you don't bag your lawn clippings, you or your lawn crew should blow them back up into your own yard to serve as healthy mulch. Blowing or raking the clippings into the street or sewer system is against HOA rules/regulations as well as City of Plano ordinances.

Watch your mailbox for our FMHOA yearly newsletter to arrive soon!

Happy Mowing!
