Spring Clean-up
The Grounds Committee wants to thank all who participate in the fall workday.
WE NEED YOU THIS SATURDAY!!!!! We will be having a community work day the 3rd Saturday in September at 9 am (meet at the clubhouse) and should only take a couple of hours if we get a lot of participation. We need you to bring rakes, shovels, gloves, and wheel barrows if you have any of them. Please remind all your neighbors when you see them so we can make our subdivision the beautiful place it needs to be!
If you have any questions, you can call or email me directly at jeremykiefer@bellsouth.net or 256-683-6556

Hello from the Grounds Committee
The Grounds Committee consists of neighbors who enjoy the outdoors and who like to participate in the planning and implementation of landscape improvements and additional landscaping to the common grounds at Legacy Grove. The members of this committee also see to the overall maintenance of the grounds. Although we hire someone to mow the grass and treat the lawn, we actually do much of the other maintenance work ourselves: fertilizing trees and shrubs, pulling and spraying weeds, treating infestations, replacing any dead vegetation, picking up trash, etc. We have a committee meeting two times each year, one in the spring and one in the fall. At those meetings, we make plans for our spring and fall neighborhood workdays. All neighbors are encouraged to attend and help on the workdays. We have a great time of working together toward a common goal. Anyone is welcome to join this committee. It is a great way to get to know your neighbors and to have input on the future landscape of the common grounds. If you would like to be a part of this committee, or if you have questions, comments or suggestions, please contact the Committee Chair, Jeremy Keifer: jeremykiefer@bellsouth.net. Your ideas are always welcome and appreciated!

Fall Tips
If your lawn needs to be fertilized, this is an ideal time. Most grasses can store food during the winter months, which can make for a healthier yard in the spring. Be sure to do this several weeks before the first hard freeze. Before storing your yard tools for the season, put a light coating of oil on the metal surfaces and rub linseed oil on wooden handles. This helps to extend the life of your tools. Now is a good time to plant trees and shrubs. They will have plenty of dormant time this winter for the roots to become well established before the summer stresses of heat and drought arrive.
