Landscape Update

Greetings Neighbors. Your Landscape Committee has been busy with several projects which will result in significant improvements to the public areas of our community.

We’re about to enter Phase 4 of 5 of our Irrigation System Upgrade. This upgrade focuses on water conservation and creating irrigation zones that are specific to the needs of our various trees and shrubs. This will allow our beautiful native plantings to not only survive, but to thrive! We’re also addressing the pruning schedule for trees, based on their species and size, in an effort to allow mature, healthy trees a better chance of surviving the Monsoon Season.

From a maintenance standpoint, we will be tending to the fire breaks, assuring proper clearance from homes that border the desert, and the Stinkweed in the washes and public areas will also be removed.

One other item on the agenda is an evaluation of our current monuments at the entrances to the Tatum Highlands Community. These have been in place since the community was built. While they have been well maintained, they could use some upgrades. This is in the early stages of discussion, and it is a great opportunity for homeowners to get more involved. Let us know if you’d like to be considered for a spot on the Landscape Committee. Homeowner involvement is crucial to the health of the Tatum Highlands Community!
