As the Landscape Committee, our charter is to help maintain coordinated and consistent landscaping throughout the community. This includes identifying maintenance, repair or improvement of all of our common areas. Bringing continuity to key landscape areas in Niguel Shores has been the focus of the Landscape Committee’s efforts for the past year. We’re using our allocated monthly budget for planting and updating areas in the community where plants have died or become overgrown. Some of the ongoing maintenance projects include:
■ dealing with the “dreaded” asparagus fern removal
■ removing pepper tree “volunteers”
■ addressing dry areas of turf
■ eliminating dead plant material, and
■ trimming hedges and shrubbery to keep things tidy.
On the flip side, we’ve been able to bring some new life to old areas by:
■ relocating plants from one area to another
■ adding boulders and splashes of color to create interest
■ installing the new tree and planter area in the Community Park (see photo)
The Landscape Committee members work together well to maximize impact in the community while staying within our limited budget. We’re also on the look-out for new members who would enjoy working New tree and planter area in the Community with us to keep Niguel Park. Shores the beautiful place we all enjoy!
