For those responsible, the signed stepping stone homeowners are stating a formal complaint regarding the current state of the landscaping and open spaces upkeep. This is also to address unfinished park areas and obvious wasted resources by both over-watering areas that do not need water while allowing other grasses and plants yellow or die. In addition, park spaces were promised to be finished by the summer of 2016 and remain unfinished. The poor quality and design was not acceptable for those who paid for premium lot fees to be next to these areas. The HOA and contracted landscaping companies have had ample time to correct this problem. The current state of Landscaping Development and HOA Common Area maintenance is a very serious concern to Homeowners. It appears that the many concerns that homeowners brought forward were not treated with the sense of urgency required. Specific areas to be included in this complaint will be listed by individual homeowners below.

The momentum is undeniable now. Management can no longer ignore this many homeowners speaking in unison.

The weeds in the open space behind the homes on Pastel Point reach over 3 feet in height each summer before they get mowed. This is our 3rd summer in our home and I shouldn't have to continually ask for it to be mowed each time that it needs to be. I have been told that we only get 3 mows per growing season in this area but I have yet to see more than two mowings per season in this area.
The empty lots owned by Shea next to the model homes are a disgrace. Shea/HOA put very stringent guidelines for how lots need to be maintained and fencing stained. The HOA militantly enforces these rules on homeowners, why is Shea exempt? These lots need to be cleared of all the weeds and the fences stained.
We are very disappointed by the consistently poor landscaping work throughout our community & it is affecting the usability & property values that residents were promised. We were also very disappointed to have had completely dead bushes planted in our yard last September & were told that they would not be replaced until the end of this planting season, leaving us to either pay for replacements or our own or live with dead shrubs in our front yard all summer. Our HOA fees are some of the highest in the his area & there is no excuse for things to look this bad.
I am concerned that the use of native grasses in a park is an invitation for rattlesnakes in an area that children will play. Hidden in the grass, it would be possible for a child to be bitten. Rattlesnakes have been seen in the subdivision making this a real concern.
I am generally frustrated that I paid a lot premium as high as I did, to have a wonderful open space, and it looks like a weed ridden wasteland. I like that mulch was put around the pillars.....but they dumped it over all the exsisting weeds. That's like putting a bandaid on a dirty cut.
I am signing because of the water that accumulates by the dog disposal bin on pastel lane as well as for the weeds outside our fence and the water that builds up at our fence from poor drainage.
We pay too much for our HOA fees to have such poorly maintained landscaping-or the lack thereof!

It would be great if they could pull a weed. Some of the plants that were planted in the parks have been completely overtaken by weeds. Also the drainage issues in Winding Path really need to be resolved. The standing water has been there for several years now. I drive through Meridian Village to get to work and their landscaping always looks fantastic. They pull weeds, replace mulch, and keep the grass green.
