Update – June 2025
The Board has officially approved the 2025 Tree Project, which includes the removal of seven olive trees and one ash tree, along with the planting of eleven new trees. The majority of the new trees will be Chinese Pistache, selected for their beauty, durability, and drought tolerance. This project is scheduled to begin in summer 2025 and will enhance both the appearance and long-term sustainability of our community landscaping.

Choosing the Right Trees

We are currently exploring several tree options that are drought-tolerant and well-suited to our landscape. Potential options include:

• Chinese Pistache
• Desert Willow
• Texas Ebony

We’re still deciding which trees will be selected. If you have input or preferences, please join us at the next Landscape Committee Meeting on Tuesday, June 10 at 6:30 PM at the clubhouse.

Budget & Cost Breakdown

The current sample estimate (based on a preliminary bid from Moon Valley) includes:

We will be meeting with three local nurseries over the next few weeks to gather comparable bids for similar tree types and services. Once bids are finalized, they will be presented to the Board for approval.
