A Note from the President
I was happy to see such a good turnout at the
Grand Opening of the Clubhouse. Activities are in full swing now, but we are
still tweaking all the little things – so if you notice anything missing or
anything that needs to be done, please inform Betty or a Board Member.
Included in the newsletter are two pages of information that I want you to
be sure to read. One is the cost of the renovations, with a comparison to
the estimate that the Board gave the community on Jan. 29, 2010 with the
actual cost. The second one is information on the renting of the clubhouse.
Have a safe and happy Fourth of July!!

Grounds Committee Notes:
Recently 106 residents signed up to have their Maple trees treated by
Bartlett Tree Experts for gloomy scale. The identification, biology and
management of this scale insect is described
if you click here
It has been recommended by Robert Day, a
certified arborist with Bartlett Tree Experts Co., that moderate to heavy
infestations be treated
twice per year for three consecutive years. The first application occurred
early this month and the second application will occur in late
September. Another opportunity will be afforded to our residents who have
maple trees on their property to sign up in August. The cost is $10 per
treatment per tree. Some of you have already paid for a second treatment.

Brickman Field Notes:
Happy HOT Summer!!!
As we are moving well into the summer season, we would like to remind you to
continue to monitor your landscape for its watering needs. As the weather
continues to change and get hotter, it is more likely that we will be
getting some afternoon thunderstorms – these rains can successfully provide
your landscape with plenty of water.
Please make sure that you are touching the
ground in both your lawns and beds to verify your watering needs!
If it is wet, DON’T WATER!! It is very
easy to set your irrigation clock and
forget it, but that can prove to be detrimental to your landscape – over
watering can cause as many problems as under watering!
On Monday, July 19 we will conduct an
informational talk at the clubhouse on irrigation and seasonal color in
North Carolina, come join us.
We have enclosed in this news letter the insert
of our - Brickman Pruning Standards For Heritage Pines in 2010‖ for
your review and understanding. As you have noticed, our methods of pruning
from 2009 to 2010 have been amended, so this insert is intended for your
education.
As always, let us know if you have any questions
or comments!!
Sincerely,
The Brickman Team
