Cabin landscape maintenance season is upon us. The Conservancy wishes to alert cabin owners to a few noteworthy items related to this maintenance:

• Cabin landscape maintenance will be performed largely by Conservancy staff this season, as opposed to a contractor as has been done previously.  The services provided will be the same as you have come to expect, including pruning, planting, irrigation, etc., with the added benefit of more control and immediate response, being done in-house.
• In working to implement industry best practices and Firewise recommendations, the Conservancy will be “limbing up” the trees found throughout the cabin neighborhoods.  Crews will be removing the limbs on the lowest 24-36” of each evergreen trunk and the lowest 48” of each deciduous tree.  The Conservancy does this trimming with an eye toward healthy growth and mitigating damage in the event of wildfire.
• Various spraying treatments will be applied throughout the cabins this summer season.  To accommodate sensitivities to these sprays, cabin owners will be notified approximately 48 hours ahead of each spraying, based on neighborhoods affected.

April is a good month to take a look at the grounds and exterior structure of your home. Winter conditions always effect both natural and structural surfaces to some degree. Each surface is unique in regards to the reaction and durability from the particular element exposure each surface encounters. Winter conditions can be relentless and incredibly destructive. It is important to rectify damage routinely so problems don’t compound seasonally.

Another April checklist suggestion includes getting the heat cable lines shut off, it’s always nice to reduce the electric bill, not having to run power to melt roofs and gutters.
