Flynn's Crossing News

We’ve heard from enough residents to get the preferred pricing, and are going to be scheduling the work as soon as ProArbor can accommodate us.

Please sign up by Friday, July 29th if you would like to join in, by emailing us to let us know you are a definite. We’ll then schedule the work.  As discussed in a previous post, each resident is responsible for payment to ProArbor.

Hope you’re staying cool!

The Board has worked with ProArbor Tree Care Professionals to arrange Group Buy pricing on trimming (or removal/replacement, if you are interested) of the front yard trees. If your tree is in need of trimming, as many are, this is an opportunity to get the work done at a discount, and in a uniform way throughout the community.

Based on the pricing we have seen on other trimming and removal services, we feel ProArbor’s pricing is excellent. Please note though that you are free to hire whomever you like to do the work (note that tree removal requires a Covenant Application be submitted to the HOA, prior to starting work).

Pricing is based upon us signing up at least three residents, and will vary depending on the size “crown” your particular tree has. The attached document from ProArbor gives specific pricing based on address: click here to review it.

We are asking that interested residents sign up immediately, and we’ll be setting a deadline for the signup soon, based on ProArbor’s availability. For now, please just let us know if you are definitely in; we will then contact you directly when the work is ready to be done so you can contact ProArbor and provide payment.

Thanks!

This latest round of covenant inspections found many trees in need of trimming. Here are three highly-rated service companies in our area. We are working on “group buy” pricing with ProArbor, and will pass the information on when we finalize things.

Here is a good site on general tree care, as well.

The Loudoun County Sheriff’s Department has reported a number of thefts from open garages in recent weeks, and we are aware of at least one such incident in our neighborhood. Please remember to keep your garage door down!

On Sunday, April 17th, a bike and helmet were taken from a resident’s garage. The helmet was later found in the common area, and a few friends have told the girl it was stolen from that they have seen the bike in our neighborhood. A description is below; if you see this bike, or know of its whereabouts, please let the board know and we will pass the information on. The owner has no interest in pressing charges, they would just like the bike back.

The bike is a green framed adult mountain bike, between 19” to 21” high. The diagonal bar on the frame has the letters MDX.
