Spring Has Sprung

Now that spring is here and the last frost of the season likely over, here are some things to watch out for in your association;

Property Signage: appearance is everything when it comes to the home values in your association.  The association sign is the first thing people see upon entering an association.  There were a lot of instances this past winter where the snow would melt and then refreeze which can weather your association sign as well as other signs throughout your community.  A routine inspection could save a lot of grief in the future

Concrete: freezing and refreezing can be especially hard on concrete as well.  When melted snow seeps into gaps and the sidewalks and refreezes, it expands which creates cracks in the concrete.  Over time, the winter damage caused to concrete could be a potential safety hazard.  If someone were to fall on a crack in the concrete and get hurt, the association would likely be held responsible.  If you see concrete damage in your association, contact LandArc at (888) 646-9888 and we will see what can be done about it.

Pot holes: Winter can also be very hard on roads creating pot holes in streets and parking lots.  These could become hazardous if not dealt with promptly.

Parking spaces: time and weathering can cause parking spaces to fade.  Is this an issue in your association?

Outdoor lighting: check to see if any street lights or  other external lighting is burnt out within your community.

Landscaping: LandArc has a strong working relationship with our vendors.  Now may be the time to address landscaping needs within your association.

Security: ensure that all residents are aware of security systems and procedures that are in place.

For any questions you might have, call LandArc at (888) 646-9888.
