Good day Everyone,

General Pruning:
- Summary of Community Landscape Maintenance Plan for Winter Season (January–April)
- Over the next 3 months, coinciding with South Florida’s milder “winter” season, maintenance will focus primarily on light shaping and size control of ornamental plants in beds using pocket pruning techniques—selective hand-pruning with pruners to remove stray or overgrown branches while preserving the plant’s natural form. This targeted approach avoids heavy cuts, allowing plants to conserve energy during their semi-dormant period, promote healthier growth, and maximize early and abundant flowering displays already emerging across the community. The result will be a neat, natural appearance with enhanced bloom production from common landscape shrubs and perennials.
- By late March to April, a slightly more structured pruning discipline will be evaluated—likely less aggressive than last year’s cuts, as reduced renewal pruning will be needed to stimulate new growth while sustaining current vigor. Details will be shared as the timing approaches.
- During February and going into March we will be addressing the hedges in sections $7 -#10-#9
- This integrated strategy aligns with UF/IFAS recommendations for South Florida landscapes, prioritizing plant health, aesthetic appeal, and sustainable weed management during the dry-to-wet seasonal transition Over the next 3 to 4 months we will be mainly shaping to keep the body of the planet in the acceptable size frame.
Weed Control Turf / Beds:
- For weed control in beds, excellent progress has been made, with ongoing applications of pre-emergent herbicides timed for late winter/early spring to suppress the upcoming flush of summer annual weeds (e.g., crabgrass, spurge). In turf areas, treatments remain selective, targeting only spots where grass density is sufficient to withstand applications, focusing on persistent weeds while management reviews thresholds. Special emphasis continues on eliminating dollarweed (pennywort) outbreaks through collaboration with specialists (e.g., Miguel) and appropriate chemical controls, combined with cultural practices like improved drainage and reduced overwatering to discourage its moisture-loving habits. WE are now in the process of another treatment of Dollarweed
Mowing:
- We are currently mowing every other week. We will remain weekly till we move into April.
IPM:
- We have been targeting the dollar weed and the broadleaf weeds. The next property review and treatment for fungus and weeds will be at the end of January. This is being completed this week and will be set again for the End of March
