PROSPECT HEIGHTS WATERING ORDINANCE: From May 15 thru Sept. 15, sprinkling may not be done EXCEPT from 6 A.M. to 10 A.M. or 6 P.M. to 10 P.M. Even numbered addresses may water during these hours on even numbered days, and odd numbered addresses may water during these hours on odd numbered days.
LAWN CARE: The contractor for the upcoming season is Best Lawns, Inc. If you wish to plant your own flowers, remember that you must maintain the flower beds WEED FREE or the lawn crews will be given authorization to cultivate, weed, and remove your plant material. PLEASE OBTAIN A RED FLAG TO MARK THE AREA WHERE YOU’VE PLANTED YOUR OWN MATERIAL. The red flags are available at the Clubhouse at no charge. The only approved mulch is natural wood mulch. No decorative edging is permitted. All edging around any type of bed must be approved by the A & M Committee. VEGETABLES MAY NOT BE PLANTED IN THE COMMON AREAS!
WATERING INSTRUCTIONS: Watering of the trees and shrubs is the most important watering that is done during the hot summer months. Leave a running hose in the bed of the tree or shrub, saturating the water down to the roots of the plant. This should be done every several days during a drought. The lawn does not require watering and will automatically go dormant (turn brown) in a drought. Please remember to water seed strips along driveways after snow damage is repaired!
MAINTENANCE REQUESTS: If you have a maintenance request that is not of an emergency nature, please put the request in writing to Rowell. They will respond to every request, whether a work order is issued, you are added to a list or it is brought to the Board of Directors for their determination. All requests should be put in writing to generate a paper trail. You can mail requests to Rowell, email to staff@rowellmanagement.com or fax to 847-991-6122.
With the warm weather come complaints of loud stereos, parties, children playing, and dogs barking. Please be neighborly and remember to respect your neighbors. Throughout the year, may we all have patience and consideration for our neighbors and for all those who live in our community.
HAVE A HAPPY AND SAFE SPRING AND SUMMER!!
