Reminders from the Landscape Committee
Friendly reminders to all homeowners:
- That if garden debris is placed at the entrance to the Close or on the side of the road for pick up by Ruppert Landscaping, it must be in paper BROWN LAWN BAGS, not plastic bags. Ruppert will not pick up any debris in plastic bags.
- Please refrain from placing the leaf bags out prior to Ruppert’s routine maintenance day – Wednesday– especially if the weather forecast is for rain. Either place them out on Tuesday evening or Wednesday morning. Wet paper leaf bags are difficult to pick up since the bottom tends to fall out.
- Please be respectful of the Ruppert crew’s job for us and thank you for your cooperation.

WHAT ARE THOSE PLASTIC-COVERED SIGNS ON SWIM AND CROQUET? (UPDATED)
Many of our neighbors have been asking about the covered signs that have “popped up” along Swim and Croquet. This street is one of 25 roadways in Fearrington Village (and 64 roadways in Chatham County) that will be resurfaced by the North Carolina Department of Transportation sometime between now and June 30, 2022. Unfortunately, more specific dates are not available from the NCDOT at this time.
The specific roadways in Fearrington Village that are scheduled to be resurfaced are marked in blue on the attached maps.

Notification Pruning of bushes/shrubs/trees on Residents’ Personal Property WSG Landscape Committee (August 4, 2021)
Now that Ruppert Landscape has completed pruning bushes and shrubs located on Common Areas over the last several weeks, it is time for Ruppert to begin pruning on personal property. This is to notify all WSG residents that pruning of bushes, shrubs, and Holly trees will start on Wednesday, August 11 and continue weekly thereafter until all closes are completed.
Landscape Committee members will distribute colored tape in each Close no later than August 8. Plastic bags with tape will be placed either on a bench in the Common Area or with a resident who will share the tape with neighbors. It is critical that each residence clearly mark (tape) their bushes, shrubs, and other plants that they DO NOT wish to be pruned.
Post Rejuvenation (December 2020), a number of Holly trees on personal property were “flat topped” but have enjoyed a good deal of growth since then. If you DO NOT wish your Holly tree to be pruned, please tape it. Otherwise, the crew will shape it to restore a more conical shape.
Per Ruppert’s contract, the crew will not prune beyond the HVAC system or behind residences. The crew has been similarly instructed not to go beyond these points.
PLEASE CONSIDER THIS CALL

Fall Pruning in WSG
As many of you have been aware during the latter part of June, Ruppert Landscape has been pruning hedges around the parking areas as well as other bushes/shrubs in Common Areas. This was done due to the post-Rejuvenation growth that needed to be trimmed and the hedges reshaped.
The annual pruning, which will take place in the early fall 2021, will include:
- Bushes/shrubs on personal property (in front and alongside of resident houses and up to the HVAC system).
- Holly trees on both personal property and on Common Areas that were “flat toped” during Rejuvenation but now need to be reshaped.
- Bushes/shrubs on Common Area that may need additional light pruning.
As before, the Landscape Committee will distribute colored marking tape in each Close so that residents can mark bushes/shrubs that they do not wish to have trimmed/pruned. A resident may request that specific pruning be done. But not beyond the HVAC system or behind their personal property.
Residents will be notified via the WSG website on the actual dates for the annual pruning this coming fall.
