Stakes and Flakes
The day after Thanksgiving 2025, workers from the KPVillas landscaping contractor installed snow sticks demarcating cement from lawn. The stakes arrived just in time. Stakes mark the edge of a driveway. By Sunday morning, homeowners were waking to a heavy fallen snow that the crew from New Generation had started to clear overnight. Sidewalks and some space in front of garage doors were shoveled by hand. Before sunrise, a plow cleared a single lane for early traffic and eme

Nutcracker Greeting
Spruced up wreaths at the entrance, festive lights on the guard house, and pairs of tall sentries welcome visitors to KPVillas this holiday season.

We thank Ron and Karen M., who are stepping down from the annual duty, for the great job they've done enhancing the neighborhood entrance. May you enjoy your first day after Thanksgiving in several years without th

Final Clean-up Until Spring
"The 2nd and final fall clean up will be after Thanksgiving," wrote President Sandy S. in a Nov. 21 email.

Quick Transition
Autumn became winter overnight, and the landscaping contractor serving KPVillas rapidly transitioned with it. On a sunny November 6, 2025, a line of leaf blowers was wending through the yards. A few days later, on the night of November 9, a heavy snowfall descended on the neighborhood. By sunrise, the streets, driveways, and walkways had been well cleared by New Generation Landscaping and Lawn Care. Unsurprisingly, deep and heavy snow thrown by plows knocked over some mailb

Road Cracks Sealed
Over two days in early November, a five-man crew sealed road cracks to prevent the freeze/thaw cycle from creating potholes. As one worker blew out the cracks ahead of the truck, another applied the heated sealant. The contractor Asphalt Restoration Services  describes it as "an asphalt-based emulsion sealer that reduces negative impact on the environment instead of the commonly used, highly carcinogenic coal tar alternative." Asphalt Restoration Services (ARS) workers bl

Use Adams Exit During Road Sealing
When Asphalt Street Restorations seals road cracks in the last week of October, 2025, homeowners and their visitors will need to exit and enter KPVillas through the back gate on Adams Road for part or most of that day. Homeowners will need to enter and exit KPVillas at the Adams Rd. gate when road cracks are being sealed in late October 2025. KPVA President Sandy S writes in an October 16 email, "This project is expected to take 2-3 days to complete. ARS said that we will rec
