Vandalism and Sprinklers

Posted by rbutler on Tuesday, February 26 @ 6:45pm

Sometime last night, graffiti was sprayed on the south entrance sign (the Parkside Villas neighborhood to our South was also affected with similar damage). A report has been filed with the Allen PD, and we hope to have the sign repaired in the next week.

Additionally, the sprinkler system on the North side of the neighborhood has been running for most of the day; the malfunction was reported to our landscape maintenance company, and the problem was fixed around 5pm.

Common Area Landscaping

Posted by rbutler on Monday, February 11 @ 5:06pm

There is a lot going on for landscaping in the Maxwell Creek community and we wanted to give you all a quick update.

As scheduled, pre-spring pruning of the Crape Myrtles has been completed, and they should look great this summer. We have also had tulip bulbs planted at the north and south neighborhood entrances.

You may be curious about the blue spots in the Common Areas, they are an indicator dye that is added to sprayed chemicals to show where the chemicals have been applied. With spring just around the corner, chemical herbicide applications have been made to kill both winter and seedling weeds. Left untreated they would multiply into troublesome spring and summer weeds. When the chemical has been applied to the turf it poses no harm to humans, animals, or the environment. A slow release granular pre-emergent has also been applied to further prevent and discourage weeds.

We are continuing our effort to achieve a beautiful lush weed free lawn for the community. Please let us know if there are any areas of concern, we are doing our best make the entire landscape as enjoyable as possible.

Theives Stealing Delivered Packages

Posted by rbutler on Tuesday, December 18 @ 8:06am

As in years past, there are a few dishonest people throughout the Allen / Plano / McKinney area that are stealing packages that have just been delivered by UPS and FedEx. Although we haven't received any reports in our neighborhood (thus far), this problem has occurred in our neighborhood in past years.

If you see anything suspicious, please contact the Allen PD immediately at (214) 509-4321.
