COMMUNITY COMPLIANCE CORNER
TREE STAKES
Staking of your trees is important for the tree when it is young and freshly planted. As your tree begins to grow and mature over time the need for these stakes may not be a necessity for your tree to continue growing…and in fact, can become a hazard to your tree if they are not adjusted or removed as the tree becomes established. During our regular inspections of the community, we have noticed throughout Desert Ridge, tree stakes that are no longer attached and are just free-standing next to the tree or they are damaging the tree because these stakes are cutting into the tree trunk and branches.
Please check the tree stakes on your trees periodically. If the stakes are no longer needed, please remove them or adjust the stakes accordingly, so that over time they may continue to stabilize your tree during its growth period. If you are unsure about keeping or removing your tree stakes, please consult with your landscape contractor or certified arborist.
PAINT
The Desert Ridge Community Association Standards and Compliance team is performing community inspections throughout all the neighborhood with Desert Ridge and notifying homeowners whose homes need paint maintenance. If you have not painted your home in the last 7–10 years, it is probably due for painting due to our harsh desert temperatures and sun exposure throughout the year. Provided below is the link to the Desert Ridge Lifestyles website where you can view and obtain the paint color palette for your neighborhood parcel specific to your home in Desert Ridge. Please use this link to select the paint colors for painting your home.
