Hi to all. Last year ended quietly and now that the season continues we hope to bring you the peace and restful
environment that you all enjoy. It seems like each year starts off the same, with a bunch of items, some big, some
small, on a list that we would like to accomplish in the New Year. This year may be a bit different. The items on our
list for the Park all seem to be small in comparison to the recent $500K road and infrastructure project, the 200K
pool, 125K clubhouse and kitchen renovation and 225K storage room expansion of years past.
The 2015 year will be one to address some of the “smaller” items around the park. We will be looking into many of
the ongoing preventative maintenance programs that we have and working on installing some of our own in house,
most notable meters on the City Water lines for certain sections. This will give us a better way to indicate the City
water leaks that we continue to have in the park.
Again, as another reminder for the 2015 year, we will be much more in touch with the homeowners and homes
that need attention in the early part of the new year. Items that need attention, most notably are clutter around the
back of homes, weeds around the city and well water lines and driveways that need pressure washing and/or
painting. These items will be addressed early in the year. We have gone thru all the details to install preventative
maintenance programs in the park. As homeowners you need to do the same.
Please continue to report lawn issues. Evans Lawn Service and Scotts Pest Control start the new year off with a
January Service. Sod will also be ordered early this year. We will work with the new companies as when to start
that program.
NOTE: JOHN EVANS LAWN SERVICE WILL START JANUARY 6. TUESDAY WILL BE THE NEW CUTTING
DATE. PLEASE MAKE ALL ARRANGEMENTS TO CLEAR ANY PROJECT ITEMS FROM YOUR CARPORT
(AND CAR IF NECESSARY) AND REMOVE ALL CLOTHES HANGERS AND OTHER ITEMS FROM THE
LAWNS.
Don’t forget the “Walk of Life” brick program will continue throughout the 2015 year and we will be ordering bricks
on a quarterly basis.
If you plan to rent your home anytime during the 2015 season please let the office know.
Currently we have 12 homes for sale (others may be for sale but Stonehedge has not been notified by the owner
or listing agent to date).
Unit 39 - 72.4K
Unit 53 - 52K
Unit 81 - 40K

Unit 157 - 31.5K

Hope all had a wonderfully Merry Christmas and the start of a Happy New Year

However, unlike the McBee's, we don't do full course, delicious meals, but will be offering music, jokes, light

have your corned beef & cabbage dinners on the 16th or the 18th!
Thanks, Cheryl O'Brune

THE LANDSCAPE ARTICLE
the landscape guy
Hi to all who have prepared for the Florida winter. If you have taken some of the advice given over the past year
with regards to your lawn and plants then when we hit the growing season you will be able to relax a bit more than
those who just let things go.
I will give a brief bullet point summary of what items to look for and do with the expected cooler weather that is
supposed to be coming in January, February, and March.
If your shrubs do not look healthy or full:
o Check your neighbors or neighborhood and see what has stayed healthy thru the season
o Make sure after trimming that there is an abundance of new growth - if not it may be time to replace
o Check to make sure you have the proper amount of mulch under the shrubs and bushes (approx. 34 inches)
Plants that can sustain a 30 degree temperature for more than one day are your best bets for our area. Plants that
are good to zone 9 should fit that bill. We are actually on the line of 9 and 9A. The colder the area, the lower the
zone number.
Plantings that hold up in the colder zones may not hold up in the warmer ones so it is best to review the range of
zones plants are good in. Remember if you take the time, one time, your selection of shrubs and flowers will last
for years.
If you would like some color during the winter season look into annuals (these are plants that thrive in certain
seasons then die). There is a large selection of these that produce great color. Check the internet or your local
nursery (I said nursery- not the Home Depots of the world - unless you have run into someone that you trust there
- the knowledge is limited at best)
More on these above subjects in February and March.
Below is the January article from the Florida extension service that repeats what the past umpteen landscape
articles have spoken about.
Hello Everyone,
It is the time of the year again – you might have guessed it, I am not only referring to the Holidays. I am writing to
remind you to skip a week of irrigation during the cooler months of December, January and February.
According to the University of Florida, grass doesn’t need to be watered as often during the cooler months. In fact,
this time of the year, St. Augustine grass only needs one-half to three quarters of an inch of irrigation water every
10-14 days.
Overwatering does not only waste water it also can encourage pests and diseases in the landscape. Skipping a
week of watering is as easy as ‘off’ for community associations and residents with irrigation timers. Turn the timer
to ‘off’ for the week that you want to skip, and ‘on’ for the week that you want to water,”
You can determine when your grass needs water when
• Grass blades are folded in half lengthwise.
• Grass appears blue-gray in color.
• Footprints remain on the lawn for several minutes after walking on it.
Watering only every other week or less during the winter will not only improve landscape health, it will also help to
conserve drinking water and protect our resources. Therefore start “skipping” today and spread the word among
your friends, neighbors and clients.
For additional information please refer to the University of Florida/IFAS fact sheets. Let your lawn tell you when to
water http://edis.ifas.ufl.edu/ep054 and Watering Your Florida Lawn http://edis.ifas.ufl.edu/lh025 or contact me at
[email protected] or 727 582-2422.
Wishing you a Merry Christmas and a successful and Happy New Year.

As far as the lawn service is concerned, Scotts lawn service will be starting with a January full park spray. The
February landscape article will have the schedule and the chemicals used by Scotts to control our issues. Scotts
would like a full spray and to determine if any other measures are needed before reporting the full spray schedule.
Hope you all had a great holiday season
It’s a great day on the green side of the grass
