Spring 2025 has been a beautiful and productive season across Coles Crossing. Frequent rainfall and mild temperatures, combined with proactive maintenance and resident care, have contributed to lush parks, healthy trees, and vibrant common areas throughout the community. Many homeowners have gone the extra mile in maintaining their individual yards, and it has not gone unnoticed—thank you for your continued effort.

 

Lakes and Wildlife Management
In May, our community lakes were restocked with feeder fish to enhance recreational fishing. A spring fish census confirmed a healthy population of larger fish, and the addition of feeder species will help improve overall fish quality and sustainability.

In mid-June, a targeted turtle population management effort was conducted. Red-eared slider turtles have posed challenges for maintaining a balanced fishing environment, as they tend to overpopulate and interfere with fish. Under the leadership of Steven Teel, and with support from local Boy Scout members, a group effort was made to reduce the number of turtles through physical removal. The goal of this activity is to support a better fishing experience for all residents.

 

Seasonal Planting and Tree Care
Our color bed rotation is currently underway and expected to be completed within the next few days. Early spring plantings were successful and received numerous compliments from residents. The next rotation is scheduled for October to provide seasonal color throughout the fall and winter months.

 

In addition, tree pruning and removal of dead trees have been a recent focus, ensuring continued safety and aesthetics in high-traffic areas and green spaces.

It has come to our attention that some residents with backyards along Jarvis Road and Telge Road have been disposing of yard clippings and other debris by tossing it over the fence into common areas. This practice detracts from the overall appearance of the neighborhood and creates additional maintenance challenges. The Landscape Committee is currently evaluating the scope of this issue and will make recommendations on how best to address it.

Finally, we are awaiting the completion of the pickleball court expansion project before evaluating and implementing an updated landscape maintenance plan for the surrounding area. Once construction is complete, appropriate landscaping will be added to complement the new facilities.
