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 在線的.

埃爾托羅水務局 (ETWD) 注意到，拉古納伍茲村被沖入馬桶的濕紙巾數量增加。與衛生紙不同，濕紙巾不會在下水道系統中分解。這可能會導致下水道泵堵塞，並為 ETWD 的基礎設施帶來昂貴的維修費用。此外，當濕紙巾與下水道管道中的油脂混合時，可能會導致家中下水道倒灌，並可能導致供水中斷。我們懇請所有居民將濕紙巾丟棄到垃圾桶中，而不是沖走。感謝您的合作，並感謝您對維護我們社區下水道系統順利運作的承諾。如需了解更多信息，請查看 ETWD 的 2024 年冬季簡訊.
