Why is the grass greener in Laguna Woods Village? Residents enjoy stunning, well-maintained landscaping, thanks to our dedicated in-house crews who provide exceptional service at a significantly lower cost than outside contractors.
Specifically, in-house maintenance is more cost-effective for both turf and shrub bed services.
Turf maintenance costs:
Shrub bed maintenance costs:
Further, VMS operates its own plant nursery, with inventory ranging from about 46,000 to 51,000 plants, at an average cost of $6.17 per plant from 2022 to 2023. The average quoted cost for the same plant assortment from three local wholesale nurseries is $8.56, or 39% higher.
Also, VMS operates its own green waste processing center for $135,000 per year, generating usable mulch worth $360,000. Without the center, VMS would have to contract with CR&R to haul away the 35,000 cubic yards of green waste generated annually from shrub bed maintenance, turf removal, tree trimming and removals at a cost of $2.12 million. The total yearly benefit to the community is $2.34 million.
Detailed information on Landscaping Services’ benchmarking comparisons can be found on pages 31-36 of the full VMS Benchmarking Report, available en línea.

El Distrito de Agua de El Toro (ETWD) ha notado un aumento en el número de toallitas húmedas desechadas en los inodoros de Laguna Woods Village. A diferencia del papel higiénico, las toallitas húmedas no se descomponen en el alcantarillado. Esto puede provocar obstrucciones en las bombas de alcantarillado y costosas reparaciones en la infraestructura del ETWD. Además, cuando las toallitas se mezclan con grasa en las tuberías del alcantarillado, pueden causar obstrucciones en el alcantarillado doméstico y posibles interrupciones del servicio. Recomendamos a todos los residentes que desechen las toallitas húmedas en la basura en lugar de tirarlas por el inodoro. Gracias por su cooperación y compromiso para mantener el buen funcionamiento de los sistemas de alcantarillado de nuestra comunidad. Para obtener más información, consulte el sitio web del ETWD. boletín de invierno de 2024.
