Landscape Mission Statement
Our mission is to serve our homeowners by insuring within the boundaries of our annual budget, that the front yards of each residence and all common areas have a high quality, vibrant and healthy landscape that makes our neighborhood a beautiful environment in which to live. For specific responsibilities see the WLOA Landscape Maintenance Division of Responsibilities and the Single Family Landscape Maintenance definition Resolution.
  We will accomplish this through:
Landscape Treatment Schedule
The landscape contractor uses approved professional practices to determine when pre and post emergent, herbicide and fertilization treatments are most optimal to be applied. All products used on WLOA property are approved for use by Federal, State and Municipal standards. Timing of applications is often dependent upon weather and temperature variables. WLOA will attempt to provide the closest possible estimates of when owners can expect landscape treatments to be applied. The 2020-23 Landscape Frequency Schedule is a strong guideline provided for your information.
Landscape Frequency Schedule
Landscape Contractor
The Association has contracted with STORM Landscape Services for landscape maintenance services. Their crew members always have identifying uniform shirts with their name on it, typically a safety vest and Hi-Vis yellow hats or rain gear. Do not hesitate to speak with them, especially if you are able to provide positive reinforcement for the work they do for WLOA. However, if you have any issue, please bring that forward to landscape@wloa.org
Irrigation
Irrigation controls are set by STORM Landscape Services at the Boards request to maximize the effectiveness of water distribution, while using the minimum amount of water necessary to maintain an attractive and healthy lawn. Homeowner adjustment or tampering with any landscape irrigation systems is a violation of the CCR 9.1, 6.24 and 5.2(d) and the Single Family Landscape Maintenance Definition Resolution.
 Requesting Changes to your Front or Back Yard Landscape
To make changes to your front or back yard landscaping you must seek PRIOR approval via the Ticket Manager system located on the front page of this web site. In the Ticket Manager, use the drop down menu to request the Landscape Modifications form. Fill it out completely and submit. This has generated an automatic message to our Landscape Chairperson and the committee members to review your request and provide you necessary authorization or questions to keep the aesthetics of Willamette Landing consistent and healthy.
Prune Your Front Yard Landscape--Pruning Opt-Out
Willamette Landing Owners Association is offering its owners the ability to prune their bushes/shrubs of their front yard via the Landscape Modification Pruning Opt-Out Form in our Ticket Manager system. This is for our owners who have expressed their desire to prune and care for their bushes/shrubs. The landscape contractor will continue to oversee the other basic maintenance of your front yard (such as mowing, blowing, etc.). The Board of Directors has an expectation that the care you provide to your bushes/shrubs will be in alignment with the other front yards in the neighborhood. If you select to prune your own bushes/shrubs in your front yard beds, your assessments will stay the same.
