Landscaping Items to be accomplished in 2024:

  • Mulch Front Entrance (re-mulch every other year moving forward)
  • Mulch Playground area where there was previously grass (re-mulch every other year moving forward)
    • Note: The Medfield President on behalf of their Board of Directors has given the Braeloch board written permission to continue maintaining landscaping on the small part of the playground on Medfield’s side.
  • Remove Juniper bushes, remove grasses, and trim bushes on center island at front entrance
  • Plant drought resistant perennial plants in place of flowers on center island and side gardens at front entrance
  • Add 2x up lights at front entrance for visibility and security
  • Replenish gravel under picnic tables
  • Trim dead trees and branches near playground

Notes

  • The irrigation system has been determined to be leaking beyond repair, at this time, this proposal includes using funds that would normally be used to repair and run the irrigation system. Irrigation will not be run in 2024.  
  • The board has reviewed the specifics of the finances and received multiple bids for the above work. The members of the board are aware of the specific costs of each item.

Points NOT for Vote:

  • The irrigation system was not run during 2023 due to its current damaged state, outside of the annual flowers other vegetation seems to be doing fine. 
  • There is NOT a sprinkler head on the center island
  • In order to replace the Irrigation system, a long term savings plan may be needed with annual dues increases or a special assessment may be needed.
