Wood chip project – Help beautify Robin Meadows and save money!

Wood chip drops have started so grab a shovel, bring a wheelbarrow if you’ve got one, and help beautify the property and save yourself some money.

To improve our soil health, retain soil moisture, and save money, the HOA has arranged for free wood chip deliveries starting in July through GetChipDrop.com.

Our first chip drop was delivered in the northeast corner of the property on Wednesday, July 9, 2025. Over the next several months, wood chip piles will be placed around the property for community use.

How You Can Help

One of the best ways we can keep our HOA dues from rising is by pitching in when we’re able—especially for projects like spreading wood chips. It’s a perfect example of how a little bit of elbow grease goes a long way.

By volunteering just a bit of time to help move and spread the chips, we can enhance curb appeal, improve soil health, retain moisture in garden beds, and prevent weeds—all without paying for outside labor.

We need volunteers to help spread the chips 2–4 inches deep in flower beds and bare areas around the property.

Basic Instructions for Spreading Chips:

  1. Gather supplies: A wheelbarrow, shovel or pitchfork, and rake are helpful. (Ask a neighbor to borrow their supplies if you don’t have any.)
  2. Depth matters: Aim for 2 to 4 inches of coverage. Too little won’t retain moisture; too much can smother plants. When in doubt, if there are no plants in the area, aim for 4 inches of coverage.
  3. Keep clear zones: Avoid piling chips directly against tree trunks, shrubs, or home siding to prevent rot and pests.
  4. Rake smooth: Spread chips evenly to create a tidy, finished appearance.

Want Chips for Your Own Yard?

Homeowners are welcome to take as many chips as they need for their front yards. Just bring your own container and tools!

Why Wood Chips Instead of Barkdust?

Installing barkdust professionally would cost over $20,000, according to the 2025 reserve study. Barkdust is also lighter and often gets blown away by landscaping tools—not a good long-term investment. In contrast, wood chips:

  • Stay in place
  • Improve soil health over time
  • Improve soil moisture retention
  • Suppress weeds
  • Cost the HOA nothing

This is how we keep our dues down while still maintaining a beautiful community. It’s a great return on a small investment of time and energy.

So grab a shovel, bring a wheelbarrow if you’ve got one, and join us! Every load spread helps protect our property—and our wallets.

Tree trimming project is complete

Spring/early summer tree trimming project is complete.

The tree trimming project is complete. A big thanks to Dan N., Kathy N., Randy M., Shawnna A., Torrance N., and Victor R. for their time and work. This extensive project took over two months and was completed to protect the life of the new roofs. This project was completed at a significant savings—easily over $15,000 in labor costs—while helping reduce the risk of future property damage. Our goal is to make tree maintenance manageable, sustainable, and cost-effective over the long term.

It’s important to note that our original roofs lasted over 20 years, largely because the trees were younger and smaller at the time. Today, many of our trees are mature and significantly larger, which means roof care requires ongoing attention. If we want our new roofs to enjoy a similar lifespan, we must remain vigilant.

Roofing professionals consistently highlight two key practices for extending the life of a roof:

  1. Keeping debris off shingles
  2. Regularly trimming back overhanging tree branches

These actions help prevent moss growth—a common cause of roof deterioration and leaks. By staying proactive with tree maintenance, we’re investing in the long-term durability of our homes.

In 2026, the board hopes to have enough funds to hire a tree company to trim back the large branches hanging over roofs around the neighborhood.

As a reminder, trees located in backyards are the responsibility of individual homeowners to maintain. To help protect your roof, siding, gutters, and fencing, the recommended clearance is 3 to 8 feet between tree branches and your home’s structure. The HOA is not responsible for any exterior damage caused by untrimmed trees in a homeowner’s backyard. A homeowner’s backyard is not a common area and therefore not the responsibility of the HOA.

If you’re unsure how to proceed or need assistance, we encourage you to connect with neighbors or contact the board.
