WEEDS, WEEDS, WEEDS! Posted March 24, 2026
We are working on weeds, apologies they seem to have taken over. Help is on the way. We have contracted with a weed spraying company that should be spraying within the next 2 weeks. If you DO NOT want the area next to your home sprayed, please let me know ASAP (Taylor at 520-559-2323 or dtaylormartin@earthlink.net). You could also stick a little flag or sign for no spray in that common area beside your home after you let Taylor know to communicate that with the spray company.
Common Area Reminder Posted March 24, 2026
Just a reminder, if you would like to “adopt” a common area to improve or manage, please send in a Work Area Request Form (found on the website) with your plans and ideas and let your maintenance committee work with you. We can have our crew help dig holes, plant and re-locate plants but you would need to commit to watering the new plants regularly for about the first 6 months. After that, desert adapted plants should be fine on their own. Why adopt? Mostly to water the plants until they are established and provide plants. Our crew will still maintain, clean up, etc. based on your preferences. We already have 4 “adopted” areas that are looking great.
There are 3 main invasive plants of concern in our area: Buffelgrass, Fountain Grass and Stinknet. If you think you see any of these in our common areas, please notify the Maintenance/Landscaping committee so we can work on getting rid of it. You can check out what they look like at ktyler@desertmuseum.org. There is also
buffelgrass.org for all the info you may ever want about buffelgrass.
Canoa Hills Brush Cleaning Posted March 24, 2026
There has been some interest from residents in clearing brush down slope into the Canoa Hills Trails Park below. If you wish to do this as an individual it will require a permit from the Pima County Regional Flood Control Department. You need to submit a plan, proposal with specific outlines and reference Parcel #304189119E. You can also call them at 520-724-4600. This is something our own maintenance crew cannot do, but individual residents are welcome to pursue it on your own.
