From time to time, we’ve had some neighbors interested in yard waste pickup, and more so this year than years past. TRV HOA Board member Chris B. took on the project of investigating hauler options this year (give him your thanks for his persistence!) and I’m proud to report that I’ve signed the agreement for…

I know we’ve shared in the past our bylaws’ limitations on yard signs. Recently, one very astute Timber Ridge neighbor found Kansas state law KSA 58-3820 from 2012. Our bylaws were more restrictive when the developer wrote them in 2008, but this state law is clear that it applies to us and it voids the…

Well, Woodland Lawn came by for our first mow of the year yesterday.  With that, mowing season has begun!  They’re going to be on Tuesday again this year (with exceptions when weather causes problems of course).

This plan includes removing some specific dead trees, and planting trees and shrubs.  The developer, Kinban / Farmers Bank…
