• Chafer Beetle Damage Update – Spring Reminder

    The European chafer beetle issue is still affecting lawns in The Ridge, and we are continuing to see signs of active grub damage this spring. Brown patches, slow green-up, and turf disturbed by raccoons and crows indicate that grubs are feeding near the surface again. If your lawn has been impacted, now is the time to assess the damage and begin recovery and treatment steps before the season progresses further.

    For detailed guidance on repair, treatment timing, and prevention, please check out our previous post on how to prevent this from happening again in the future:

  • HOA Community Rules

    Whether you’ve called the Ridge home for many years or are new to the neighborhood, this is a great time to review, or reacquaint yourself with our HOA Community Rules and Guidelines.

    One of the most common requests we receive involves architectural applications. To help streamline the approval process, we’ve included links below to the community rules as well as the applications required for HOA review and approval.

  • Take a book, leave a book!

    Next time you’re at the playground near the big park pavilion, take a moment to visit our Little Free Library! It’s a wonderful spot to discover a new read, share a favorite book, or encourage little ones to explore something new.

    Feel free to take a book, leave a book, or both. Let’s keep it stocked and thriving for everyone in our community to enjoy. Happy reading!
