Tollgate Association Falls Church, Virginia 22046 Landscape work will be done, as funds permit, in the following overall order: Front Entrance to Tollgate Common & Residential areas in the Front of all properties Common & Residential areas in the side yards of all properties Common area in the Rear of all properties The highest priority will be replacing dead or dying trees or shrubs. Replacement of healthy trees or shrubs for esthetic reasons will have a lower priority. Landscaping philosophy pertaining to healthy but overgrown shrubberies in the front of properties, on common grounds, and at the entrance to Tollgate:  The Committee will remove or prune dramatically overgrown and/or crowded shrubberies if the homeowners and the Board concur with our selection of shrubs to be removed or pruned. Boxwood pruning: Given the different preferences homeowners have for shaping boxwoods, we suggest that boxwoods standing by themselves be pruned into ball shapes.  Boxwoods in hedges will be left in a hedge shape.  Ivy in front beds is overgrown and should be removed wherever it is choking plants.  The Landscape Committee recommended and the Board approved its removal. Living Color was advised and has begun to remove ground covers from beds if it is growing into trees and shrubs.  Homeowners should keep an eye on their beds and advise the committee if are becoming overgrown with weeds or ivy.  Living Color or the Landscape Committee will routinely limb up low hanging branches and prune shrubberies interfering with passage on common grounds. The Board will reimburse Committee members for materials (e.g. trash bags) bought out of pocked.  If homeowners request work that is not given a high priority but has been approved by the Committee, they may pay to have the work done themselves. We reiterate that all work must be approved by the Board/Landscape Committee before any homeowner undertakes contracting for, or doing,  the work themselves. The Landscape Committee feels that we are capable of purchasing and planting replacement shrubberies, such as azaleas and junipers, along front sidewalks and beds and this community activity will save considerable money for the Association.
