Spring is a wonderful time of year; everything comes alive! April is a special month as we take part in a national volunteer event, hosted by PLANET, a national landscaping association. This day was created by the lawn care and landscape industry to draw attention to the importance of green spaces.

Bennett Valley Vision (BVV) is an all volunteer group that is focused on making their neighborhood, an even nicer place to live. With their vision for ways to improve several Bennet Valley public areas, they recruit volunteers for two annual clean up days. Weeding, pruning, litter pick-up, spreading mulch, and plantings all took place on
April 13th and Landesign was a returning volunteer.

Not only do we enjoy taking part, it's so nice to be recognized by people like Mary Traverso, a BVV member. "Thanks again for sending your volunteers. They really are a professional group that does such nice work." For more information or to get involved, go to bennettvalleyvision. 

Enjoy the beautiful weather that lies ahead and take time to smell the flowers! 

Sincerely,

At Landesign we take water conservation seriously and and it shows in the work we do for our clients. May is Water Awareness Month and as the weather warms up, here are some useful tips. For more info, www.wateraware.org/tips_household.asp#lawn

As a property owner you are responsible for maintaining HIGH WEEDS throughout the dry season - May 15 - November 1. The defensible space should extend at least 30 feet from your home in all directions and also include fire precautions such as:

* Remove dead tree limbs overhanging your roof or chimney

* Create common areas between structures

* Clear flammable vegetation near wood piles and fuel storage containers

* Clear pine needles, and all debris from roofs on your property

Local fire departments require all high weeds to be cut down by June 1st to avoid fines. Call Bob Cerri at  707 578-2657 to schedule service.

We've extended the deadline! Please help us to better serve you by responding and submitting to our survey. If you've already provided feedback, THANK YOU.

If you haven't, please take the time to do so. To know better is to do better!
