  • What is a homeowners’ association and what is its purpose?
    Homeowners’ associations are non-profit corporations created to help preserve property values through the use of architectural controls, design guidelines and use and deed restrictions. Additionally, associations provide for the shared ownership and maintenance of common areas and community facilities. Assessments are charged to owners for the maintenance and upkeep of these common areas and amenities.

  • What does the landscape contract include?
    The community’s landscape contract covers two important areas; landscape and irrigation. The landscape portion includes maintenance of all main entrances, village entrances, turf areas, medians, mitigation and common areas. Maintenance is generally trimming, mowing, edging, fertilizing, clean up and includes trees, flowers, shrubbery, and turf located in contracted areas. The irrigation portion of the contract typically covers maintenance of the community’s irrigation system including major and minor repairs that may be required. It is important to note that the Villages of Woodland Springs is still being developed and built out, therefore not all areas in our community have been turned over to the homeowners’ association for the landscape contractor to maintain.

  • What is the mitigation area and why do we have it?
    The mitigation areas are a requirement by the Army Corp of Engineers (ACOE) to compensate or give back to the environment what was removed during the development of our community. Therefore, Keller Joint Venture (KJV), the developer, and the ACOE entered into an agreement that identified these mitigation areas along some of the community’s ponds. The mitigation areas have certain restrictions that are required such as: planting a specified number of trees & shrubbery, allowing natural grasses and underbrush to grow and mowing restrictions. To ensure compliance of these restrictions the ACOE requires annual monitoring of these areas.

  • Why is my village entrance not landscaped?
    As most residents are aware, the Villages of Woodland Springs is still a growing community and each area is built in phases and/or villages. Generally the builder(s) in that phase/village retains control of the landscape until the area is considered complete. The community’s landscape contractor only maintains villages that have been turned over to the homeowners’ association for maintenance. So if you are in area that is lacking attention or has no landscaping, you may inquire with the builder in that village, the onsite property manager or the LG Committee to check the status. Please be aware the landscape contractor will be unable to assist or respond to those concerns until that area is technically turned over to the homeowners’ association.
