Keeping the Gateway Greens community spaces in great shape is a top priority, and the recent landscaping efforts highlight the dedication to making these areas beautiful and welcoming for everyone. Here’s a look at the key activities that have been completed or are currently underway.
A FRESH START WITH A NEW SERVICE PROVIDER
Big changes are happening! On May 1 our new service provider GreatView Lawn Care is bringing fresh energy to manage the landscape needs at Gateway Greens. This transition followed the conclusion of Mainscape’s contract on April 30, 2025, and marks the start of improvements to enhance our shared spaces.
WHAT’S CHANGED SO FAR?
A complete inspection of the irrigation systems was carried out with the new crew ensuring that no stone was left unturned. The inspection revealed:
• Damaged wire paths along Gateway Greens that needed fixing
• Rotors that weren’t watering properly because they were too low
• Valves and solenoids require repairs along Mahogany and Westlinks
• Drip lines with insufficient flush-outs and annual flower beds lack proper irrigation coverage
• Key improvements to the irrigation systems:
Ø Performed troubleshooting with main and ancillary controllers and hardwired the fixes to ensure successful operation going forward
Ø Repaired damaged valves along Mahogany
Ø Fixed non-functional zones near Walden Lakes’ entrance and Hidden Links to ensure that the sod stays lush and green
Ø Adjusted irrigation to perfectly water the new plants
Ø Conducted a thorough wet check to ensure everything was just right for the community’s fresh flowers
Significant and comprehensive progress is underway to beautify our landscape:
• Weekly mowing, trimming and edging implemented
• Lawns were fertilized with insecticide to promote healthy growth
• Executed a much-needed trim to the palm trees, giving the community a polished and well-maintained look
• Shrubbery was pruned, and overgrown cul-de-sacs were trimmed for a fresh, inviting look
• Removed old annual plants and prepared the soil for new ones
• Applied fungicide to keep the soil healthy
• Installed vibrant new annuals, along with a mix of granular and Osmocote fertilizers for optimal growth
• Pine straw removed from planting beds to get ready for new mulch
• Mulch application started, adding a lovely finishing touch to the landscaping
