Minutes from landscaping budget request meeting, 8/27/24

Budget request 2025: 

       Irrigation budget request:  $2k (see kay’s email* for priorities)

      Would like to hire out upgrades like switching from spray to drip in dog run, near unit 1
   Tree diaper:  robin suggest 6 of the two sizes (12 total)

      for the Tree Diapers - with TreeUtah's 45% discount the prices are:

        $25 for TD36R and $44 for TD48R

             Budget request: $450

  

Mulch and grass seed: $400 

    Our common house lawn experiment did not take as well as expected, but we also didn’t put any mulch down.

Tree work, commercial 

  Kellie expressed hesitancy to spearhead tree work, as she lacks experience in working with contractors and doesn’t want to face the ire of community members.
    Noted that we need to work more on pruning the canopy for safety, and less so on removing trees necessarily. Can ask robin or jorge to meet vendors on the property, could perhaps check with Mike W as well. 

     What to budget for from commercial? Prioritize things we cannot do with the boom lift due to access and liability reasons:

           Behind units 1-5

           Things above what the boom lift can do/ too close to a house

     Budget request: $5k 

   

Beautifying with plants:

Kay’s bulb request: $150

   Entrances, borders. Forsythia, burning bush, etc.
     Planting budget request: $500

Irrigation materials budget request: $500

Total: $9k 

      


 

Kay’s identified priorities per email:

“  Sprinkler work on common house lawn:

 

  • Move sprinklers north from what is no longer our property since the property line was corrected. The dog row fences were built on the wrong side of the property line, and rather than move them we traded Hans a 2ft slice from the back lawn’s south side.

  • Move a sprinkler (possibly two?) from behind evergreens by Linda’s house, planted after the sprinklers were installed.

  • Add a sprinkler in the middle of the lawn, rather than overwatering the shade trying to keep the sunny patch from dying totally.

  • Move/add sprinklers to the interior corners of the concrete zigzags on the back lawn, so water sprays out, onto the lawn, instead of in, onto the concrete.

  • Whatever work the lawn beside #14 needs.

  • Ask how complicated it is to change a station from one sprinkler control box to the other.  If it is a matter of moving wires from one box to the other, let’s put the back lawn & the lawn by #14 onto the lawn box, for conceptual simplicity – all of the common house lawn on the same box.  If it’s complicated to do, the gain isn’t worth the time.”
