Landscape Update: At the board meeting on 7-22-20 the board approved a number of landscape proposals which include pond beds clean-up, shrub & tree removal (& where approved replaced), miscellaneous pruning of trees on LP, Viewcrest, Viewcrest Court, and Brightwood, and on the south end of the big pond drainage clean-up will be done. The exact date has not been determined due to weather and crews. Like many companies, all the workers have not returned which has placed many contractors in difficult situations.

Concrete Update: At the same board meeting the board approved a proposal from Michigan Construction for concrete work to be done to 39 locations throughout the community. It is now planned for some time in August due to the same difficulty that Great Oaks is having to get their crews back to work.

Irrigation Update: All work is completed as work orders are received by customerservice@kramertriad.com

The ACC has completed an evaluation of decks stained last year to ascertain if the new stains approved last year are lasting longer. Applying "things learned" in that study, we plan to evaluate decks stained this year. At this point, we need to identify several decks stained with PPG's Flood Sierra product. This year's study requires greater detail about the pre-stain prep and the staining process. Please identify the "stainer" (and date). During prep, was a stripper applied - if so how. It can be brushed or rolled on and then washed off or the stripper can be incorporated in the power wash itself. The stripper is generally followed by a neutralizer applied directly or in the power wash. Was the entire deck stripped - sometimes the verticals are only cleaned. Sanding - any "heavy" sanding or just touchup. How was the stain applied - brush, spray, pad, roller or combinations thereof. Please forward the info to jammer3501@aol.com. Thanks for your cooperation.
