From neatly trimmed lawns to carefully edged sidewalks, our landscaping crews work hard to keep the community looking beautiful. With more than 310 acres of turf, 170 acres of shrubs and 152 miles of edging, plus trees, slopes and seasonal plantings, there’s a lot of ground to cover.
So, if you see a crew sitting in the shade near your manor, they’re not slacking off. They’re taking a well-deserved break.
Landscaping staff begin their day at 7 a.m. at the maintenance yard, where they receive their daily assignments. From there, they spread out across the community to tackle everything from mowing to pruning. California labor law requires two 10-minute breaks and a 30-minute lunch, and more frequent rest when temperatures exceed 80 degrees.
Since there’s no time to return to the maintenance yard for breaks, crews typically rest close to where they’re working. You might see them gathered under a shady tree, eating lunch or rehydrating. Some bring folding chairs to make the most of their short downtime.
Around 3 p.m., crews return to the yard to document their day’s work and wrap up by 3:30 p.m.
Please join us in showing appreciation for these essential workers who spend long hours outdoors keeping the community thriving. A simple smile or wave goes a long way.
