(CILCK ON TITLE FOR DESCRIPTION)

These Positions will be voted on at the Spring Meeting: 
LANDSCAPING COMMITTEE

Position Overview

We are seeking enthusiastic volunteer Landscaping Committee Members to support our community's outdoor spaces and help maintain the beauty, functionality, and value of our neighborhood. These roles sit below the Chair and Co-Chair on the committee and focus on hands-on involvement, observation, collaboration, and contributing to recommendations that enhance our common areas.

This is a voluntary position with a flexible commitment of approximately 1–4 hours per month, depending on seasonal needs, projects, and meetings. No professional landscaping experience is required—passion for our community's appearance and willingness to contribute are what matter most!

The committee typically includes the Chair, Co-Chair, and 3–7 additional members working as a team to advise the HOA Board on landscaping matters.

Key Responsibilities

    • Participate in monthly (or as-needed) walks of common areas to identify maintenance issues, such as overgrown plants, irrigation problems, weed control, dead/diseased trees, litter, or hardscape damage.

    • Document observations with photos and notes to share with the Chair/Co-Chair and committee.

  • Support Vendor Oversight & Communication

    • Assist in monitoring the performance of the contracted landscaping company (or companies) by reviewing work quality during or after service visits.
