Weeds: Taller Than Some Dogs
Last year I wrote about and documented the weed problem. It seems this year is no different. Elite Management claims to have hired a new landscaping company, Yardnique. Well, if this year is any indications, they just suck! Everwhere you look in and around the common areas of the community, weeds are springing up everywhere. […]

Read MoreWhere Is Bridgeberry?
If You’re Guiding Someone At Night… Your delivery driver better know where they are going if they are dropping a late package. It seems Taylor Morrison was shortsighted in thought and provided NO night time illumination for our entrance signs to the community. I was told by a neighbor that they enquired as to the […]
Read MoreElements Of Mis-Management
Tropical storm Ian is expected to pay us a visit this weekend, and on this Thursday evening, winds are already picking up around our neighborhood.

Respect my authoritah! Taylor Morrison HOA
Background So my home is at the end of cul-de-sac on Trautz lane. My backyard and side-yard lines up with a bit of trees (aka. buffer area for water to flow away) and shares boundary with a home on the other side, the home itself facing Rex Road. As families started moving in with kids […]
Read MoreGrounds Upkeeping – A Double Standard In Bridgeberry
So as part of our CC&Rs homeowners are required to keep weed growth under control as part of our maintenance responsibilities. I was out on a walk today and noticed that in all the common areas, weeds have gotten ridiculous. Where and how is the HOA keeping up with this? Moreso, where is the VALUE […]
Read MoreTM Provided Lighting – SUCKS
When we bought our Taylor Morrison home in Holly Springs this year, and saw the “standard” lighting that was provided, we were disappointed. To us, the quality of lighting and fixtures in a home mean everything as far as the aesthetics and perception of value. In our former home, we invested about 14 thousand dollars […]
