Winter Lawn CareDry conditions across Colorado mean you’ll need to drag out the hose and sprinkler and water your landscape this winter. Snowfall usually provides far less moisture than rain, so you should supplement with winter watering when the ground is not frozen.
Follow these guidelines on when and how to water this winter:
If you aren't able to hand-water your landscape this winter, hire a landscape pro to do the work for you. It's a good investment in the long-term value of your property. |
Who Owns What?The Board of Directors has been actively engaged in improving our common areas. There are many challenges and complications due to multiple owners of our common areas, and many of the areas around our community just don’t look very nice at times.
Please download the HOA Map showing HOA controlled areas. It should be noted that this map is always changing as new areas are transferred from builders and developers into HOA control, and that this map may not be 100 percent accurate. We will update as new sections are turned over to the HOA. (HOA Map last updated September 2020)
There is continuing and understandable confusion about what open spaces and common areas the HOA does and does not control. If your specific area of concern is not clearly defined on the map, contact clientcare@amihoa.com with your question.
There are exceptions but as a ‘rule of thumb’, typically if a neighborhood is still being built out then the builder will generally control all the open spaces and common areas in and around the neighborhood. Areas not being built on yet by a builder, and surrounding open spaces, are generally controlled by a developer until a builder starts building homes. Unfortunately, until an area is conveyed to the HOA, the HOA does not have any authority, control, or leverage over that open space area. We are continually asking builders and developers to get things done. |
Mowing & Maintenance ScheduleWhile we all hope for and expect nice looking common areas, native grasses and construction don’t mix. It takes just a season or two for typical residential grass to establish itself while native grasses can take several seasons to recover when disturbed. For native grasses to develop and spread to fill in bare areas and thicken up to choke out weeds, it must be allowed to seed before being cut. If we don’t allow this process by cutting too soon, our native grasses could actually get thinner and die out. This is why we wait to cut these grasses until they are 18 to 24 inches tall and seeds are fully formed. The Landscape Maintenance calendar is available for reference. This year, native areas are scheduled for weed control spraying up to 3 times, as weather permits, beginning in June through November.
