General Maintenance Schedule (General weeding control, pruning, and cleaning)

A high-level map and up-to-date outline of the vendor’s various activities for March can be found here: https://news.thevillagesgcc.com/maps-may/. The schedule reflects days for mowing, combined mowing/cleaning, cleaning, and detailing. Detailing includes pruning, pulling weeds, and detailing plant material. BellaVista has also provided hard pruning maps, which show the locations of different plant material to be hard pruned. 

  • Turf fertilization will begin the week of May 5.  
  • BellaVista has begun seeding lawns as previously scheduled. The BellaVista teams will follow behind the mowing operations to allow as much time as possible between seed application and the next mowing cycles.

Watering Schedule

With the arrival of warmer spring temperatures and the conclusion of the rainy season, plant growth resumes in earnest. To support the health and appearance of The Villages’ landscape, the irrigation systems have been reactivated. BellaVista is fine tuning run times and adjusting schedules to meet the specific needs of each area within the community. Throughout the season, BellaVista and management will continue to monitor and adapt the irrigation system based on all available data. If you observe any issues—such as runoff, leaks, or malfunctioning zones, please submit a work order to the Public Works. BellaVista will respond promptly to address any concerns. 

Club Maintenance

  • Community Pool Closures

    • All pools are open with the exception of the Montgomery Center. The county has approved the plans submitted by The Villages and we are waiting on the county to remove the tags from the pool. This will then give us 120 days to perform the temporary repair while also allowing for usage of the pool in the interim. For facility hours and open status, check the Member Portal’s “Today at a Glance” feature (https://member.thevillagesgcc.com/).
    • Valle Vista Sewer—Management is reviewing the submitted bids to perform the repair to the sewer infrastructure in Valle Vista and will provide their recommendation soon.  
    • Cribari Center Electrical Work—The electrical work and finish work has been completed.
