Idelwild Entrance Work

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
