Page Dunn-Owner

The lawn care service will begin on April 5-6, 2012.  The company will provide mowing service of all common areas, as well as the front and side yards of HMROA neighbors.  Contact Page Dunn directly to make arrangements to have your backyard cut, if needed.  Each backyard will be priced individually.

Weed treatment will begin mid-April.  If you do not want chemical treatments on your property, please contact board member Tony Waterfield asap at 434.409.0471.  Tony will also be your point of contact with Dunn's Landscaping, so if you have any concerns or questions about this front or side yard service, please contact Tony, not the contractor directly.

Dogs and Cats are our friends!

Hello all -

We are proud to live in a community that is very friendly to household pets.  Please take a moment to review our community's expectations of household pet ownership in the Community Covenants (accessible in the Documents section of this page):

(VII,1,f) Pets. No animals, livestock or poultry of any kind shall be raised, bred, or kept in any Lot or in the Common Area, except that no more than a total of two dogs, cats or other domesticated household pets (collectively "Household Pets") may be kept on each Lot, subject to rules and regulations adopted by the Association. No Household Pet shall be permitted off the Lot occupied by such Household Pet's owner, except on a leash. Owners of Household Pets shall promptly clean up and properly dispose of said pet's feces wherever deposited on the Property. No pit bull dogs or dogs having any percentage of pit bull breed in them shall be permitted upon any Lot or Common Area.

 

With Regards,

Your HMROA Board of Directors

Holistic Pest Solutions Annual Termite Inspection

Highlands Dr. & Grassy Knoll homes

will be inspected Saturday, November 5th.

 

Amber Ridge Rd., Amber Ridge Court,

and Mechums River Rd homes

will be inspected Saturday, November 12th.

 

 

The Highlands at Mechums River Owners Association announces your annual termite inspection.  This inspection is necessary to maintain the service agreement to protect our homes from termite damage.  The inspectors from Holistic Pest Solutions will ask to come into your home for an internal inspection of the property.  If you will not be home for any reason, please make safe and secure arrangements for the inspectors to gain access to your home.  An option might be to contact a neighbor who would be available to let the inspectors in and stay for the brief time they inspect the property.  If you do have a neighbor who is willing to let them in, please leave a note on your door as to which neighbor will be letting them into your home. 

Thank you for your attention in this matter.

Hit the Brakes!

Just a quick reminder that the speed limit in the Highlands is 25MPH.  The Board frequently hears from homeowners about speeding cars.  If you live at the far end of the street, remember to take it slowly all the way to and from route 240.....children are at play, folks and dogs are out walking and some of our streets have some deceptive blind curves. We thank you!

Mowing - Summer 2011

Jefferson Vista is back to do the mowing this year. Their services include:
  • mowing front and side lawns
  • turf weed control
  • bush hogging common areas
  • core aeration and overseeding in the fall
  • turf fertilization in the fall
  • pH adjustment, if needed, using lime
  • leaf collection in the late fall

If you do not want chemicals applied to your lawn, please contact Norma Breakiron at 434.823.5474 and she will inform Jefferson Vista.

Homemowners who wish to hire Jefferson Vista to mow their rear lawns will be charged $12/mow if unfenced or $15/mow if fenced.  Please contact them by email at  jvista2011@aol.com or 434.589.5714 to make arrangements.

Finally, please try to keep your lawn clear of dog mess, twigs, rocks, gravel, toys etc which can make the mowers job unpleasant or even hazardous!

Got Email?

The Board is attempting to assemble a list of the email addresses for all homeowners. This list will not be used for any commercial purposes or spam, but for official communications from the board and announcements regarding community events, etc.  Please take a moment to Email Us with your email address and permission to use it to contact you.

Dirty Business

It's summertime and the air is fragrant, especially IF you don't pick up after your dog!  

Please, dog lovers, remember to scoop after they poop and dispose of your poop bags properly.  Please make this your policy year round so the Highlands can be a clean and fragrantly appealing place to live for all of us. Finally, remember too that dog mess is not "great fertilizer" for the grass: it is "yucky" and can be hazardous for young ones at play!
