New landscaping

Permanent landscaping continues at the Watters Crossing main entrance on McDermott Drive.

Over 1500 winter creeper plants were installed to cover the bare ground and counteract the erosion.

 

As the trees have matured, grass will no longer grow due to lack of light.

These permanent plantings will continue at all entrances and cul-de-sac islands in phases, in 2009 and 2010.

Playset replacement

The new, replacement playset is under construction adjacent to the tennis court in Phase I.

As many parents know, the original playset here was of the wooden variety and, following a long life, literally fell apart last year.

After much research. the Board settled on the set being constructed, which will last in excess of 30 years.

It will be similar to the playset in Phase III, but orientated to younger children.

The new set, when completed, will have an expanded footprint as it is much larger than the original set at this site.

Current timing calls for the soft ground cover beneath the set to be installed Saturday, April 26, after which, the new playset will be launched.


Six cedar elms have been planted on Alma Drive. These were to replace damaged or dying Bradford pears.

Also, repairs are being made to the perimeter fence (McDermott Drive, Watters Crossing Drive, Alma Drive, Bel Air Drive, Tatum Drive) in preparation for staining.

After power washing, the fence will be stained, both the interior and exterior sides.


Elms planted

Clubhouse landscaping

New Landscaping has been installed at the Clubhouse.

185 Liriope plants were installed under the three large Yaupon trees.

These trees were uplighted in 2007 as part of the lighting of the Clubhouse exterior. The plantings fill area that had been bare dirt due to the shade and was eroding onto the sidewalk.

540 Winter Creeper plants have been installed to cover bare areas in which no grass will grow due to excessive shade.

Essentially, we are eliminating the bare, muddy areas that were prevalent in the front of the Clubhouse.

This not only looks better, but also will result in a cleaner Clubhouse due to less mud being tracked in.

As part of this restoration, a stone walk has been added. 

Within about one year, the winter creeper will fill in as a solid, shade loving ground cover.
