Forms may also be picked up at the Activity Desk in the clubhouse.

Thank You, Isles Management.

Grounds Committee The Green Thumbs ...Grounds Committee

Palm Maintenance 101 Palms are the quintessential tree of south Florida and although relatively care-free, some regular maintenance is usually required. Among the more carefree palms are the Christmas palm and the Foxtail palm ? both of these palms are self-cleaning meaning they naturally shed the older fronds. For most of the palms on the Isles property (Cabbage, Queen, Pygmy, and Date) regular maintenance is required to keep them looking their best. As part of the annual landscape contract, the BrightView maintenance detail crews trim off old fronds and seedpods as needed during their regular rotation on palms under 15 feet in height. Twice per year, in the Spring and Fall, the HOA maintains the Palm trees above 15 feet in height by removing seed pods and fronds. These expenses are in addition to the annual landscape contract. Fertilizer injections and special soil drenches are scheduled on an as-needed basis to protect the specimen date palms at the entrance. With the hundreds of palms on the property, the HOA recognizes the value in regular scheduled maintenance not only to enhance the property but to minimize potential damage to tree and property during

hurricanes. `It is the nature of the strong heart, that

like a palm tree it strives ever upwards when it is most burdened.'Philip Sydney! Next meeting 9/6/18.

Updates from BrightView September 2018

ADT Number (New Number) 1-800-878-7806 To reach our Community Association Service Center for Customer Care, Services, Sales, System Testing, and Technical Support. Call the above number.

Architectural Change Requests They will be reviewed by the ACC board and you will be notified of the decision.

The summer season is dragging on, and has been an extreme challenge for us due to the heat and rain. The warmer temperatures have increased the growth of turf and plant material, and the increase in rain has also contributed to the overall health of the turf and plant mate-

rial.

Comcast Number Technical or Support issues call the Comcast Call Center. 800-266-2278. (Make sure you have your account number or phone number ready to give).

Disposal of Fire Extinguishers Household Chemical Collection Center is open Wednesday--Saturday, Hours 8am-4pm. 8750 Bee Ridge Road, Sarasota. They may be reached at 861-5000.

DiVosta Customer Number A new "Centralized Customer Service Department" for DiVosta Customer Relations has been established with a toll free number. 1-888-898-9712

The Isles After Hours Number After hours or weekends the emergency number for the common areas is - 941-951-4034 An answering service will notify appropriate management.

Tennis Reminder: When using the tennis courts we ask all players to shut the tennis gates behind them and not use the dead bolt to block the bathroom doors open at the tennis courts. If you sign up and are unable to play, please remove your name from that time slot.

Yard Waste/Debris If you have palm fronds, branches that you have trimmed, place them on the opposite side of your driveway from your garbage or recycling on Tuesday evening after 5pm for pick-up on Wednesday. Waste Management #941-493-4100

Work Orders "Landscape Work Orders" must be filled out for all landscaping requests. The forms are located in the post office or on Isles Activities desk Drop box is available in the post office. All other requests pertaining to the house itself can be directed to your DIVOSTA Customer Relations Manager. Reminder-"Work Orders" will be addressed within 30 business days.

The rain has also had a negative effect on weed control in the beds. The increased rain has sped up the germination of dormant weed seeds, and also makes the spraying of the weeds ineffective on many days due to the fact that the weed control is washed off of the weeds before it can be fully effective.

You should expect to see more weeds than normal in your beds, but we will continue to be diligent in providing the quality work needed to keep the neighborhood looking its best.

The turf will continue to be monitored for insects, and I believe we have kept the chinch bug damage to a minimum this year. We are hoping for continued rainfall this month, but irrigation will be checking for hotspots and assuring these areas are fixed. The irrigation is being cut back to 1 day per week to try and help with the issue between some of the homes.

The warmer temperatures have decreased the possibility of fungus being an issue, but we will continue to monitor the situation for you.

Mowing will be a weekly service and will include all the usual suspects, mowing, blowing, weed whip and hard surface edging. Bed edging is completed every other mow. The detail crews are currently trimming and will remain hard at work to keep your shrubs beautiful for the season, and will be focusing on weeds in the beds, and keeping palm fronds away from homes and lanai screens.

BrightView appreciates your loyalty and commits to cre-

ating a beautiful place to live. Matt Sievert Account Manager
