Facilities/LandscapingSeptember-Landscape trimming ~ Commercial versus ResidentialOur grounds here at the center and streetscapes are maintained by commercial landscapers.Because their mode of operation is often puzzling to some people, I thoughtyou might be interested in knowing some of the basic differences between commercialand residential landscape maintenance. Each commercial landscaper’s crew is trainedto do a specific job which gives each employee more experience and expertise for theirjob assignment. For example, one crew will only mow lawns with a specific day to cometo the <strong>Anthem</strong> Center. Another crew only trims shrubs or works on irrigation and soforth. That is why, on any given day, you may see a crew only cut the grass and nottrim shrubs, as it will be done later by a different crew. Also, when the landscapers dostreetscapes, it may be several days or even a week or so before both sides of the streetare finished. The areas the crews cover are large and they work according to the mostefficient schedule set up for them by their manager.When we establish a landscape maintenance program with a commercial landscapecompany to take care of our properties, we and the landscaper tailor a program thatbest suits the overall look and aesthetic needs of the entire Community, which is bothefficient and cost effective. This program includes all the tree and shrub pruning,flower planting, fertilization, insect and disease management, lawn mowing and much more. Therefore, thelandscape crews can efficiently come in at their scheduled times and have each area taken care of properly,which also ensures optimal grass, plant and tree growth in future seasons. With this arrangement, we arestriving to achieve that our community always has the appearance of a well-maintained landscape.When a private resident hires a landscaper to maintain his yard, he is normally dealing with one person thathas a small crew that will spend a certain day doing the mowing and trimming on his property. Residentialmaintenance is far more personalized. The homeowner will consider his property's privacy, the style andoverall look that he wants to achieve. Choices are made on each plant and tree regarding how the homeownerprefers his landscape to look. Maybe a row of plants along the sidewalk will only be top trimmed so they growwider and cover more area whereas the neighbor next door prefers his plants be trimmed all the way aroundand rounded for a more estate-type look. Certain trees may be specifically trimmed for various reasons suchas giving shade to a seating area or creating a privacy screen. Obviously everyone has different ideas on howtheir landscape should look.IMPORTANT ~ As of September 1, we will be on SNWA’s mandatorywater schedule for fall. All residential and commercial irrigationclocks need to be set to water only three days a week. Here in<strong>Anthem</strong>, our watering days are Monday, Wednesday, and Friday.Failure to adhere to this schedule could result in a water-waste feeor citation from SNWA.Does the featured photo look familiar? Yes, it is the courtyard at theIndependence Center. The flowering plants are Crape Myrtleshrubs which stay in bloom through most of the latesummer months.With the prime goal of keeping our community beautiful, I routinelywalk and inspect our grounds, interacting with the crews from threelandscape companies that maintain our landscaping. These areasinclude the grounds around the Centers, SCA streetscapes, desertrevegetation areas, the common areas and gate maintenance in Pinnacle Village, rock drains, and thelandscape around the duplex homes within our Community.
