Isn’t Welk getting away easy on these projects? And our association now has a great burden in the future?
Not at all. While some week-to-week maintenance is now minimized for them, from this point forward they have many more trees and plants of which to take care–according to our standards. So this all balances out. And even though the … Continue reading
Comments Off on Isn’t Welk getting away easy on these projects? And our association now has a great burden in the future?
In the past, Welk did 100% of the median maintenance, and they didn’t do a very good job. Now what are they responsible for? And how can we be sure they will do a better job?
For decades, they had no standards. Now they have clear and fair maintenance standards, with procedures to follow when we see something substandard. They will continue to maintain the median, including the rocks, boulders, plants, palms and trees. We wanted … Continue reading

Who actually “owns” the Median Islands?

How is this going to look?
We decided to employ one of the most noted landscape architects in the Coachella Valley, Ron Gregory of RGA Landscape Architects, to analyze the median and develop the design planting (including planting, lighting and irrigation). Mr. Gregory and his associates … Continue reading

What is going to replace the palms, the torch bougainvillea and the turf?
Instead of the uniform evenly spaced super-tall palms, we are creating a richer look we call “Desert Lush”, with a number of Mediterranean Fan Palms, Willow Acacia Trees and Yellow Oleander Multi-trunk Trees, plus a variety of colorful desert flower, … Continue reading

We voted on this back in March. Why hasn’t anything happened yet?
The purpose of the homeowner vote was to be let our homeowners know that some of the reserve funds would be going to this project. Once we got the nod, a huge amount of work had to be done to … Continue reading

What is the Median Island project all about?
The Paseo Real Median Islands are in dire need of refurbishment, both aesthetically and to reduce water usage. It’s important in our aging complex to keep refreshing what we can to reflect updated design principles; this is one of the … Continue reading
