In October 2025 the Grounds Committee commissioned a certified arborist to inventory all of Country Creek’s trees. The objective was to understand which trees need to be restored or replaced as a first step towards the Committee’s goal of creating a multi-year plan to care for the community’s tree cover. The arborist tagged, mapped, and inventoried 703 trees, evaluating the health and needs of each one. The estimated value of all of Country Creek’s trees is over $6 million, more than $17,000 per home! Some of our best trees are worth $32,000-46,600. The report identified that we have some work to do: 70% of trees are in good condition and 24% are in fair condition, but 5% are in poor condition and 1% are dead. Fortunately, many options exist beyond cutting down trees: we can use soil and root treatments, pruning by tree surgeons, structural supports, lightning protection, and vine removal.
The grounds committee is beginning to plan future tree work to solve acute needs and prevent problems from developing. If you have questions, please let them know at grounds@countrycreekhoa.com.

Our grounds contractor will clean up leaves soon, especially behind and between townhouse rows. They’re here to clean up general community spaces, so don’t pile your own collections of limbs and yard waste in common areas, because it’ll raise costs for everyone.
Put your own garden waste and small branches in paper leaf bags on the curb for pickup by our trash contractor.
Questions about trash, recycling, or waste guidelines or pickup? Check out our Trash and Recycling page.
Mowing services typically begin in early April and conclude at the end of October. Mowing service is scheduled on a 7-10 day basis or weekly (as determined by contract). With the exception of periods of either extremely wet or extremely dry weather, service can be expected to be performed within the contracted schedule.
The mowing service includes mechanical edging of sidewalks and curbs with every other mowing cycle. String trimming around obstacles such as sign and light posts, bed edges and other areas that mowers cannot reach is also included with mowing services.
Mowing, edging and string trimming are all completed in the same visit. These services may be performed simultaneously or in succession in each area, though it is likely that there will be a period of time between when mowers, edgers and string trimmers pass through each area. The final task performed by the mowing crew is blowing the clippings from the sidewalks and curb areas.
All of the services involve use of noisy equipment as well as the use of hearing and eye protection for the crew. Workers make every effort to be aware of their surroundings and watch for people that may be in the area where they are working. Even so, it is a good idea to make sure that they are aware of you if you must enter an area that is being serviced. The workers will gladly pause their work to allow you to get past them.
Some other things that clients can do to make the service to their community more successful are:
Each year, the Grounds Committee walks the neighborhood with our landscape contractor to review what’s needed to keep the neighborhood in top shape. We talk through the following items to develop a plan for the warm season:
Let us know if your corner of the neighborhood needs some attention!
