Maintenance Activities
Landscape Maintenance
Bella Vista has begun Broadleaf application throughout all the districts. 4 speed XT (EPA#228-590) is being applied directly to invasive plant material and is not being sprayed completely on the grass. Rather, it is a spot treatment. We have posted signage at the entrances to the villages and in areas where the treatment has been sprayed and we are asking that no one walk on the grass nor have their pets on the grass until the treatment has dried. In an effort to practice the most caution, we are encouraging individuals to not use the lawn until the signage has been removed. This will be a visual cue confirming the chemical has dried. Thank you for your assistance. For any questions, please contact Customer Service at (408) 223-4670.

Vineyard Pool and Spa are closed due to a fence height requirement mandated by the Santa Clara County Environmental Health Department. The Villages is developing engineering plans to bring the enclosure into compliance. Once the plans are approved by the County, the pool can reopen while modifications are made.
Montgomery Pool experienced a similar enclosure issue in late October. The Villages is following the same process to ensure compliance, working closely with county officials to meet all safety requirements ahead of reopening.
Pools and spas at Montgomery and Cribari are regularly closed for the season from Nov. 1 to March 30, and both are slated to reopen as usual April 1.Management continues to focus on resident safety and regulatory compliance. Updates on pool status and reopening timelines will be provided as more information becomes available.
