Update (6/24/25): The grass cutting contractor was able to cut most of the along Brooke Drive, Quail Run Road, Grouse Court and Sandpiper Lane today. The ground and grass have dried to the point where the contractor and their equipment could effectively work. The contractor is scheduled to be on-site again tomorrow (6/25/25) (weather permitting) to cut the upper half of Scott and to finish the back area behind some of the buildings on the lower half of Quail Run Road and several other smaller areas.
Two weeks of heavy rains between the last grass cutting on June 3rd-4th left the ground overly saturated and the grass excessively wet. The total rainfall in June to date has exceeded by several inches the average rainfall typical for the entire month of June. These rains left the ground heavily saturated in addition to the wet grass itself. Cutting wet and saturated grass with heavy machinery leads to damage of the lawn and grounds, damage to equipment and a poor grass cut. The contractor does not get paid unless they are working, so they are significantly hindered by these conditions.
The Association and the contractor are appreciative of and understand that the grass is still high in spots. The contractor is working to catch up and get the grass cutting back on a regular schedule. An understanding and patience with these unusual conditions is appreciated.

The recent storm on Tuesday, April 29 took a heavy toll on the Pittsburgh area. Fortunately, our community weathered the storm relatively unscathed. There were some fallen branches and a portion of a small crabapple tree was damaged. There were a couple of isolated roof and siding issues.
The Association has been working with an arborist and professional tree trimming company to maintain the many mature trees in the community . This work includes pruning and trimming large trees on a 3-5 year cycle, removing unhealthy trees and professionally planting new trees. Most importantly, steel cabling and wiring were installed on specified trees to limit twisting and to allow the tree to sway as one unit in strong winds.
In addition, the Association's roofing maintenance contractor completed maintenance work on all fifty-one buildings in the weeks prior to the storm. The contractor replaced missing shingles, fixed nail pops, sealed and tightened roof vents, resealed and tightened gutters and made upper siding repairs.
The on-going roof and tree maintenance work done in coordination with our Property Manager helped to minimize the potential damage from the storm. The Association is very appreciative of our contractors and their hard work and dedication to our community.

The dryer vent is a small but important part of our homes that needs to be cleaned and maintained. In Quail Run, the owner is responsible for the cleaning and maintenance of the dryer vent exhaust duct from the dryer to the outside vent and for the exterior vent cover.
The most important consideration in cleaning the dryer vent is safety. The National Fire Protection Agency reports that 92% of home fires are caused by clothes dryers with 27% of those fires resulting from lint, dust or fiber. Each dryer should be on a regular cleaning schedule. Owners should pay close attention to signs of a dirty dryer. Additional benefits from cleaning a dryer vent system include improved efficiency, extending the lifespan of the dryer, less exposure to carbon monoxide and less potential damage to clothing from lower temperatures and lesser dry times.
The vent cover is an important element in that it keeps rodents out and allows proper air flow while preventing lint build-up. The Association requires that the vent cover match the color of the exterior adjacent trim, which is typically almond. In cases where the vent cover is adjacent to masonry, the vent cover must be a white or almond color.
Local cleaning companies offer dryer cleaning services. Or self-dryer cleaning tools can be purchased on Amazon or local home improvement stores. Please take the time to ensure your dryer vent system is safe for your safety and the safety of your neighbors.
