PROJECTS   
Thinning of Tree Canopies
 Many of the long term turf issues in the community are related to irrigation failures and/or the shade of maturing trees.
To address chronic turf issues associated with shade, 31 trees were identified to be pruned to reduce the density of the canopies and let more light through.
This project was a cooperative effort with 22 trees being serviced by home owners and/or volunteers working together with the Association. Ten of the most difficult trees were contracted out to a tree service.
 Special attention was taken to not remove the "screening" functions of trees - specifically where the canopies screen out views of the dealerships or the backs of homes, large expanses of brick wall or roof, or where they breakup the visual mass of concrete in the cul-de-sacs.
Attention was also paid to structural enhancement to ensure desirable branch architecture and structural integrity and strength of the trees.
The photographs show a "before" and "after" of the Oak at 1922 Wilshire Lane.
