Covenant and Community Reminders
|
Did you know April is National Lawn Care Month?
Springtime is a critical time of year for developing a healthy, drought-tolerate lawn. Here are a few landscaping tips for April:
1. Mulch flower beds and landscapes.
2. De-thatch and aerate lawn.
3. Remove leaves or any trash from your yard.
4. Each time you water your lawn apply enough water to enter the root zone of your grass. Watering needs can vary by type of grass, amount of sun and type of soil. Wait until the last freeze to turn on your sprinkles and water with a garden hose during dry conditions in April.
5. Begin mid month to prune bushes and forsythias.
6. You can plant cool weather annuals like zinnias and pansies but hold off on planting most annuals until after the last freeze. Remove dead or damaged rose canes.
7. Protect spring colors – When the bulbs planted last fall emerge as spring flowers they are generally up to the challenge of the unpredictable weather. However if night time temperatures fall below 28 degrees, cover early bloomers to protect the flowers over night.
Spring Painting and Staining
Spring is officially here and it is time to apply additional stain or paint to keep your home, deck and fence looking great. Regular physical and aesthetic maintenance of fencing is required to stay in compliance with the Metro District standards.
All fences must be stained using one of the approved stain colors shown on Schedule 2 of the Covenant Document and sealed with a clear waterproof sealant. Decks may be finished with a clear semi-transparent sealer, stained to match a cedar tone, an oil based wood finish or a similar product that matches. The deck may also be painted to match the body or trim color of the home. Please visit https://www.wheatlandsmetro.org/covenents/ for the full list of staining requirements. Our covenant specialists, AMI, are also available to assist you if you have any questions feel free to reach out to them at 303-351-5411 or [email protected].
