As the sun begins to set on a beautiful summer season and we look forward to the changing of the leaves in fall, it’s important to start preparations for your homeowners’ association. Keeping your homeowners in the loop on changes with the season, from home maintenance tips to updates on community events, is essential and will help make this transition easier. Fall is the perfect time to start prepping for winter, and there’s a lot to still do!
To help, we’ve compiled some top tips to prepare your HOA community for the fall season.
Landscaping Maintenance
As you begin to feel the cool breeze of autumn sweeping across your home, there are some important landscaping changes you should be reminding your homeowners or ensuring the professional maintenance staff is aware of! First, resist the urge to stow the mower away for at least another three to four weeks! The fall months are also the perfect time to spray for bugs and weeds, aerate any turf, and focus on fertilizing roots to properly prep for winter. Also, remember to check on irrigation systems to ensure they are working!
Pool Closures
As the colder season grows near, one of the most important considerations to keep in mind for your HOA community is the pool. Whether you’re planning on closing the pool right away for the fall or not, you need to keep the cool weather in mind and schedule maintenance. Remember to always notify your community beforehand of any pool closures so they can prepare.
Seasonal Decor
With the arrival of the fall season just around the corner, you can bet that homeowners are already prepping for their holiday decorations! From beautiful seasonal decor to spooky Halloween yard decorations, there’s plenty for your community to celebrate this season. And while this is an exciting time of the year, keep your residents updated on any community rules when it comes to these decorations now to avoid any surprises later!
