January 2023 Maintenance

We are continuing the Fall clean up, collecting and removing leaves and debris from trees and plants that have gone dormant.

 Selective pruning on evergreen plants, excluding spring flowering shrubs.

 During the month of February we will continue to clean up leaves throughout the community, including all fall debris in the walking trials,

 Cleaned up the gutters on all common area streets throughout the Aliante community and in the walking trails.

• The maintenance on Decatur, Rome, and Deer Springs North has been completed between Jan. 10th and Jan.17th.

• Maintenance on D.S., Decatur,& Rome, include the following; plant pruning as well as tree trimming. All of the trees on the South side of Deer Spring, trees in the medians between Decatur and Aviary, and trees on the North side of Deer Springs that had low hanging branches were raised.

• Tomorrow, Friday Jan. 27th we will start our scheduled maintenance on Deer Springs South, Clayton, and Brian Cram.

• In 2021 we assigned a crew to specifically work on the maintenance of the 6000+ trees that are in the Aliante community. The vast majority are mature trees of 15+ years of age. Today we see the positive results of these actions, we have less broken trees due to high winds, less damage to mature tree branches, and best of all, we have healthier trees that will provide curb appeal to your community.

• Due to the recent rain, the timers in Aliante have been turned off until further notice, we will keep an eye on the weather to determine when the irrigation timers will be turned back on. In Addition to that, I will have the irrigation techs check the soil for moisture around different areas in Aliante, If we determine that a certain area needs water we will manually water the area instead of turning on the whole irrigation system.

• In the 2nd week of February 2023 (weather permitting) we will start the Olive tree spraying to reduce the Olive fruit growth.

• As you may or may not know, out of the 6000+ trees in Aliante, 875 of them are Olive trees.

1. 660 Olive trees in the Aliante common areas.

2. 122 Olive trees in walking trails 58, 59N, 59, and 61.

3. 93 Olive trees in walking trails 60, 60 south, and 62.

• The chemical that is used to reduce the growth of olive fruit is called Maintain CF 125, it’s safe for people, pets and property. The expectation for olive fruit reduction is 85%-90%. The spraying process will be done once we reach temperatures of at least mid 60 degrees F. Also, spraying will be conducted after 9pm due to safety.
