Landscape Improvements In Arrowcreek

The Landscape Committee along with the Facilities Staff identified grass turf areas along High Vista that provided little aesthetic value to the streetscape. The committee agreed to recommend to the Board to remove the grass turf at two locations, at the lower High Vista golf cart crossing and next to the visitor lane at the Reserve Gate.

The Board of Directors tasked the Facilities Staff with removing the grass and irrigation system during the winter of 2022/23. Due to the heavy snowfall, the project was postponed until the Spring and was completed in May by our staff. The grass was replaced with decomposed granite and decorative boulders.

This project accomplishes two goals. We have reduced water usage and the labor it takes to mow and maintain these areas, both of which are cost saving measures. The HOA recognizes that grass does provide a pleasing aesthetic value, and we do not plan to remove grass in high visibility areas currently.

Our in-house Facilities Staff was also able to accomplish this task at a fraction of the cost of hiring a landscape contractor, which is a direct benefit of ArrowCreek HOA retaining its own employees.
