ROA staff have been getting complaints from your neighbors about lawns that are mostly weeds and/or more than 6 inches high. Maybe some of the shrubs in your yard died in the last hard freeze. Shrubs that cover windows or obscure the front of the house must be trimmed to stay in compliance. Time to get your yard in shape before summer.

If you receive a violation notice from the ROA, you’ll have some time to get things turned around. Do you own property that is rented? Make sure your tenant has lawn equipment or a landscaping service. Property owners are ultimately responsible. Many of our residents move to Washington from other states and don’t realize that lawns and gardens need extra water in summer. Yes, it rains here, but not so much in the summer months. Lawns may be allowed to “go golden” in summer to conserve water but still need occasional watering to keep grass from dying.

Don’t forget plantings in alleyways and the trees and grass in the strip between the sidewalk and the street. Although the asphalt alleys are maintained by the ROA, the shrubs and trees that are planted along the edge of the alleys are located on owners’ properties. Keep them trimmed away from the pavement and remember to pull weeds.

Fence repairs – Center Drive in Edmond Village

Affected homeowners will receive information via email and U.S. mail about fence cleaning and repairs for the fence on Center Drive, adjacent to Edmond Village properties. Cleaning will begin the third week of June and our contractor will need access to backyards. Email if  you live in the area and did not receive a notice. 

Alley sealcoating – Yehle Village

Part of the Yehle Village neighborhood is scheduled to have alleys seal coated, July 16-19. A mailing with a map will be sent to affected properties. If you live in Yehle Village and didn’t receive the mailing, or misplaced it, you can read it on the ROA website. Please be sure to trim plants so they are at least a foot away from asphalt in the alley before June 12. Premier Landcare will be cleaning up alley plantings after that. Alley entrances will have signs posted 24 hours before sealcoating begins. Please don’t use the alleys while sealcoating is underway or for 24 hours after it is completed.

 

Community Yard Sales 2024

Saturday, June 22, and Saturday, September 14, are the two dates yard sales may be held in Northwest Landing for 2024. Please note that yard sales are not sponsored by either the Northwest Landing ROA or the City of DuPont. Governing documents for Northwest Landing state that yard sales may be held two times a year and are announced by the ROA. We’re trying something new this year by offering to post addresses for people who are planning to hold a yard sale. Just addresses will be posted; no items for sale or contact information. To sign up, go to the Announcements page.
