The board will discuss the budget for 2021 on Sep 22 at 6:30 via Zoom. Owner are invited to join.

Blade Runners will apply a herbicide, Pylex, to turf this week, weather permitting. Pylex is used for post emergent control of broadleaf and grass weeds. Residents and pets should not walk on the turf until the product has dried. If weather requires rescheduling the application of Pylex, signs at the front and back entrances will be updated. Please refer to the attachment and the contact page at Bladerunners.com for more information.

You may have noticed that our 2020 rejuvenation areas have experienced a major facelift. Tired, aging bushes and plantings have been removed and replaced. Overgrown areas are now neat and tidy. We have open areas instead of plantings that became crowded over time. While most of the rejuvenation work is finished, there are still a few bushes to be planted and areas to be sodded. And although the hot, dry summer weather has not been kind to our new plants, Blade Runners assures us that they will replace any plants that die as a result of these conditions. Any assistance you can provide in keeping the new plants watered is greatly appreciated.

The board will hold its monthly meeting via Zoom on Wednesday, Aug 12, at 7 pm. See the agenda and call-in information.
