Over 60 new trees were planted to replace trees that had previously been removed. The Authority/ District spent approximately $130,000 in 2018 on landscaping improvement and renovation projects. Landscape enhancements included mulch replacement, installing a breeze walkway to provide better walkability for residents, renovation of landscaping on corners and medians along Tallyn’s Reach Parkway and Plymouth Drive, annual flowers, irrigation controls to higher efficiency controllers, and more.
Last year the District evaluated the trees that had been removed throughout 2018 and were not able to be replaced. We have 82 trees scheduled to be planted in 2019 to replace trees that have died and been removed. A map of the trees to be placed throughout the community can be found below.
