Fall pruning of Weathersfield common areas will begin this coming Friday, October 10. Pruning of individual residences will begin on Friday, October 17. If you wish to assume responsibility for having your property pruned, please email me by October 10 and I will provide you with red tape to tie around your porch post. In addition I will provide the workers doing the pruning with a list of residences not to be pruned. Workers will not do any pruning on properties that are marked with tape around the porch post. Please do not mark individual plants. If you have any questions feel free to email me.
All Weathersfield homeowners are invited to join the Board of Directors on Monday, September 8, 2025 from 1pm until 3pm at The Gathering Place to review the Weathersfield Reserve Study.
Marking tape will be placed on benches in each Close on Thursday, May 8. If you wish to opt out of pruning, tie a piece of tape around a post on your porch. This will signal that no pruning should take place anywhere on your property (the landscaped areas in front of and along the side of your home).
This variation of the tape system has been adopted by Countryhouse and has worked well.
The previously scheduled weed spraying has been canceled. Our landscapers believe that the mulch that was placed several weeks ago has proved sufficient to suppress weeds. Ruppert will, however, continue to monitor the situation and any weed growth will be addressed.
In the meantime, please remove all red tape as soon as possible.
Spraying did not take place today (Wednesday April 9) due to weather conditions earlier this week. Ruppert will notify me when spraying takes place—hopefully by the end of this week. Another notice will be posted as soon as it is completed. Although I am assured this spray poses no harm to animals, I recommend keeping pets off mulched areas for 48 hours after spraying.
I have conferred directly with the member of the Ruppert crew who will do the spraying. He showed me the no-spray list on his phone and told me he does not need the tape. He has confidence that he can work from the list. Therefore, you may remove the tape at any time. You may leave any unused rolls of tape on a bench in your close and I will pick it up early next week.
Due to rain, weed spraying will take place on Wednesday, April 9. Please keep your ribbon in place until then. You will be notified when spraying is completed.
Ruppert will be applying post-mulching weed spray on FRIDAY, APRIL 4. If you choose NOT to have weed spray applied to your property please notify John Bailey by Wednesday, April 2.
