BEULAH CORRIDOR AUGUST 2006		SUMMER IS ALMOST OVER!! We hope you've enjoyed the long, lazy days of summer. Soon school will begin again, and our thoughts will shift towards the Holiday Season.

Also our 2nd Annual "Doggie Swim" will be schedule soon, so please check the Landsdowne Message Signs or our website (www.landsdowne.org) for details.

		sUMMER STORMS AND YARD DEBRIS Storms are taking their toll on our homes, plantings, and patience. As a reminder, any plantings such as trees or shrubs located on private residential property remain the owner's responsibility for maintenance. This includes removal of any fallen trees, limbs, or other debris caused by storms. In many cases your homeowner's policy will cover associated costs. When disposing of yard debris, please use open containers (not to exceed 50 pounds), paper or clear plastic bags (maximum of 10 bays per pickup), or bundles (not more than 4 feet in length and 2 feet in diameter). Please note that since yard debris is recycles, the dark black trash bags (contractor bags) may not be used. Trash Away picks up yard debris on Monday only. If your debris is too large for the regular pickup, please call Trash Away at 703-838-9008 to schedule a special pickup. Please remember that special pickups are done at the owner's expense. As of earlier this summer, the Landdowne Community Association has been in the process of identifying trees on the common grounds that may pose a threat to private homes and property -- as well as any dead trees. Sadly, there are several throughout the community as a result of the drought 5 to 7 years ago. Bids are being requested from several companies to undertake tree removal where necessary. If you have any questions concerning your plantings and their care, or wish to bring to the attention of the Landscaping Committee any trees on common grounds for possible trimming or removal, please e-mail: landscaping@landsdowne.org.
