OUTDOOR RESORT PALM SPRINGS
Landscape/ Plantings Recommendations
Desert Landscape & Artificial Turf- are recommended as they reduce water usage & mowing.
Trees- Trees on lots are recommended to have at least 6-10 feet between each tree. Mower decks are 21" thus leaves enough room for mowers to get through and allows for expansion of the trees.
Ficus Trees- Or any plants within the Ficus family are not allowed as their aggressive root systems may damage irrigation and sewers.
Bougainvillea- Are not recommended as their aggressive summer growth requires extensive trimming. Falling flowers and leaves blow onto neighbors' lots and thorns complicate trimming and clean up.
Queen Palms- Are not recommended as they are not native to this area and have a short life span, many are dying.
Carolina Cherry Hedge- Recommended to be planted in cool weather as they die quickly through summer. They are also prone to pests that can eventually kill the plants.
Small plants, gravel, DG, rock, pink oleanders, are all recommended.
Beds & Borders- Landscape cloth must be installed beneath gravel & stones to block weed growth. A hardscape border must separate beds and turf and must be set in mortar.
Irrigation- Maintained by Vintage Landscape. Call ORPS maintenance dispatch at Ext. 293 for sprinkler check and maintenance work. Sprinklers are turned off for about 10 days in late September for reseeding of the lawns. Healthy plantings are little affected, however distressed plantings may suffer thus you may need to employ a gardener to water plantings by hose. Outer Resort Walls- Pyracantha Firethorn, a fast growing and very prickly shrub grows in the common area along the outer wall. These climbing plants are vital to deter trespassers. Do not trim or remove. Call maintenance dispatch for trimming schedule/ report any dying or missing.
