Pine Trees Complete

The tree cutting project has been completed. If you have brush, tomorrow will be the last day we will come by to pick it up. Please have it set out by lunch time. This will included any bagged needles/pine straw. Anything after tomorrow will need to be taken to the orange dumpsters. We will not be back to pick-up brush until June 1, our monthly scheduled time.

Thank you.

Pools and Trees

I originally thought we would have better news, but the pool and spa are still closed. We are working through an issue with the heater so we want to make sure it is running safely and “warmly.” Thank you for your patience.

Some good news, the Norfolk Pine tree project is moving along nicely. I have uploaded some pictures for your enjoyment. We will continue working for at least the next week or two. As a reminder, please use caution while traveling in the work zones.

Pine Tree Cutting Process

I want to give advance notice on the work process while cutting down the Norfolk Pines. There will be 2 crews working; one crew is cutting down the trees and another crew comes after to pick up the trunks and brush. Please be cautious around areas where the crew is working. The trunks and brush could be on the curbs for a a day or two as they are working. We will be extra flexible with this project, as the same company is responding to storm damage, but we will still look to complete the project within two weeks, weather permitting. At other properties, they averaged 6-8 trees per day. We have a little over 30 trees that will be cut. There may be leftover pine needles. If residents will bag the pine needles, we will pick-up anything that is bagged and at the curb during the project and the end.

Access to some of the trees will not be easy. We may contact you if advanced planning is needed to help assist with access to the trees. Naturally, extreme caution will be used to ensure property damage is prevented. If you notice anything out of the ordinary, please contact the Main Office. Please use caution in the areas where work is happening.

Thank you for your patience.

Brush, Pine Trees

Hopefully everyone is in good shape after the storm last night. We are still cleaning up as much as possible, but I wanted to get some information to you.

I just received the call, we are next on the list for the Norfolk Pine trees. The company will start cutting them tomorrow (Thursday) unless any emergencies come up. As noted in the previous blog post, we are allowing lot residents to keep part of the base as a “planters platform” for creative ideas. 5′ will be the maximum height we would leave stumped. Lot residents would need to clearly mark the tree at the height to be salvaged (you can use ribbon, spray chalk, caution tape, etc. to mark cut line). 

We will pick up brush in response to the storm. We will start this week but will plan to end by early next week to allow for weekend work.

We are still pending pool repair, but hopeful it will be done today or Thursday at the latest. A message will go out once we are all set.

Continue to report anything you see on the property. As a reminder, feel free to text messages, pictures, and/or videos to the property cell phone (956-556-0040) if it is convenient.

Thank you.

Updates

The pool will remain closed. We are in the process of securing a time to have repairs done. I believe it could be down all week, but we will continue to get it back up and running sooner. As soon as it is available, I will send a message so everyone is aware.

The stray animal round up is going well so far. Traps were provided by the City of Weslaco Animal Control. This is important to know, as it has been brought to our attention that animals have been released. Please be aware, the city will fine individuals who release animals from traps. Residents of Trails End can also be subject to fines if this happens. We are ensuring that animals are picked-up in a safe, humane manner by working with the city. Any animal running free outside is subject to pick-up, so please make sure all pets are inside or outside on a leash as detailed in our policy.

Thank you.

Pool Closure

The pool/spa is currently closed for repairs. We are addressing an issue, which we hope to have repaired by Tuesday. I will send a status update by Monday afternoon. The gates will be locked, but access to the library is allowed through both laundry room doors. Take the hallway

We appreciate your patience with this.
