As was reported during the recent annual Homeowner’s meeting, we have written a new Grounds Maintenance Specification and are considering changing contractors for maintaining our entranceways and islands. The reason for this is that Homeowners Association has heard that there are residents who are unhappy with the quality of service that the current contractor (Top Lawn) is providing. Before we send the new specification out to potential contractors for bidding we want to discuss our grievances with Top Lawn and let them know that we are soliciting bids and may be terminating our contract with them. Please help us prepare a list of grievances by sending an email to jceldr@aol.com . Be as specific as you can be with your complaint.

What is the plan with the Idlewild entrance? The trees that were there have been removed and it is now just dirt and unattractive.
Dear Anonymous (and everyone in Idlewild),
Thanks for your inquiry, and for noticing the improvements underway at the Mallard entrance to our neighborhood.
As was discussed at the Annual Membership Meeting, your Board has been working toward upgrading this entryway. After studies and planning, we have hired Richardson Landscaping to do the work. The improvements will include (1) new lighting to improve the visibility and look of the brickwork/signage; (2) all new shrubbery flanking the entrance and on the island, and (3) bringing the inground irrigation system back up to 100%.
The work is underway. As with any such job, the uprooting of the old growth takes place quickly, while the placement of the irrigation improvements and new shrubbery goes somewhat more slowly.
We appreciate everyone's patience, and believe you'll like the new and improved look of Idlewild's main entrance when all is done. As new developments spring up, we want to keep Idlewild among Sumter's preferred residential communities. And while an improved entryway will help, it is up to every homeowner in the Association to do their part, by keeping their properties properly landscaped and maintained. Our combined efforts that will help to protect all of our individual property values.
Let me also take this opportunity to mention that to date, there have been no email responses to the "Idlewild Grounds Maintenance" message posted on this site. We are moving forward to arrange the best possible grounds maintenance service.
And to those who have not already done so, the receipt of your annual dues payment would be most appreciated. To those who have already taken care of this, many thanks!
On bahalf of your Board,
Jamie Eldridge, Chairman
