Landscaping, Lakes & Pest Control

Drive through the Stadium or Palmer Residence entry gates and the first thing you’ll likely encounter is landscape equipment. That’s because Res 1’s curb appeal doesn’t come about by chance…it takes hard work to look this good. The Association has both an in-house landscape staff and contracts with outside landscape companies (our largest budgeted expense) working year-round to care for our grass, trees, shrubs, flowers and lakes. It’s an enormous undertaking, and homeowners can help by following these guidelines:

When planning to modify your landscaping, hardscaping or making a change in your irrigation, an approval process is required. You will need to submit a Landscape Change Application to the HOA office for approval. This must be completed, submitted and approved prior to any modifications being performed.

If you see a broken sprinkler head, dead shrubs or something else that needs attention, fill out an online Work Order request. (You may also print and drop it off at either of the Palmer or Stadium gatehouses, or fax it to 760-771-5125.) We make every effort to address requests within 72 hours of receipt (excluding weekends and holidays). Emergency calls such as trees down or anything that threatens life or property will be addressed immediately.

Please do not plant trees or shrubs without first getting Association approval. Keep in mind we do not generally remove healthy plants unless they’re causing a problem. As a policy matter, the Association will replace dead or missing greenery.

If you’d like to make modest changes to landscaping (such as adding shrubs, install a limited amount of artificial turf, etc.), begin by contacting the Association and getting written permission. Download a Landscape Improvement Request Form and follow its instructions carefully.

Before planning to add any cactus plants outside your home, please read the Association’s Cactus Policy.

We have in-house pest control personnel who spray for insects outside homes (but not inside garages or homes other than condominium attics, which are considered common area). We also place rodent bait stations throughout the property and set live-capture traps for skunks and raccoons. If you suspect any of these problems, call the office or fill out a Work Order request.

While fishing is permitted in lakes by homeowners and their guests, swimming and boating are not. We regularly inspect lakes for excessive debris, weeds and algae and use as few chemicals in the lakes as possible to reduce algae growth.
