Lendon curbs are going in quickly!

The roads here at the Lendon development site continue to make good progress.  The curbs are now beginning to line the roads.  You know what comes after the curbs right?  Of course, the pavement!  We hope to be posting pictures of the paved roads soon, but for now here's the current progress at lendon which includes shots of the curbed roads.

Is Lendon on it's side?

Never fear, all is going well over at the Lendon development site.  We have a new PBS that has been set on it's side awaiting installation but that's the only thing on it's side.  It has been great weather, clearly we are ramping up the spring development, which is why we needed additional PBS units.  You can see in the pictures provided by 3.0 Website Designs through the new Google Glass, that more of the roads have been stoned and are actually drivable.  The fire hydrants have continued to pop up around the neighborhood, and it is starting to look a lot like a community.  I can't wait to see more!
Here's the pictures, I hope you enjoy!

Get ready for spring!

With spring just around the corner and Lendon development starting to ramp back up, it's a good idea to prepare your current location for the upcoming spring season especially if you're planning to sell the current property.

Here are a few good ideas to help your yard look it's best as the new growth starts around it.

Remove debris: Rake away all of the debris from the fall and winter months. Make sure to include leaves and sticks. This will allow your yard to have a fresh start for the spring. If you happen to have leftover rubbish on the lawn, it can get in the way of mowing, watering, seed planting and a number of other activities. Another benefit of raking is loosening of the surface of the soil, which encourages healthy airflow.

Apply more grass seed: This is most important in areas with weak grass growth or dead grass. Make sure you use a strong rake to open the surface. Mix the grass seed with new, healthy soil in a bucket. Then spread the mixture over the ground. Don't forget to regularly water this area to foster hearty and fast grass growth.
Mulch: Mulch is a protective covering that you can apply to soil to lock in moisture. Mulching with a depth of 2 to 4 inches around the bases of trees, shrubs and in flower beds helps to retain water and keep plants warm and healthy.

Water deeply: Many homeowners water their lawns often -- but with little water. However, it's better to water only when your lawn needs it with a lot of water. If you water deep and sparingly, you will train the grass roots to dig deeper into the soil. Whereas, if you water lightly and often, you will train the roots to stay near the surface, according to the Environmental Protection Agency.

Getting Ready for Spring

As you can see the cold winter months have put a slow pace on the Lendon development. I have added a few pictures to catch you up an where we are starting from this spring so we can watch the miracle take shape before our eyes. You will notice in the pictures that there is a stone road that is firm enough to drive on, although I would not recommend taking a joy ride just yet. The plots in phase one area are all marked out and have utilities connections run to them. There is drainage as well as fire hydrants throughout the development along the roads. With a quick glance it looks very similar to late fall but upon closer inspection we can see the subtle changes. Enjoy the pictures!

Getting ready to move in to your Lendon Home

This may seem a little early to start thinking about moving in to your new Lendon home, but really it's never too early to start the planning.  It is best to make sure that you are completely covered in the moving department.  Last minute distractions can really be disruptive in a move.  So let's cover a few things that you can start thinking about early to avoid the stress of unplanned drama.

1) Consider all of your current belongings.
a) Are there items you own that you use seasonally or relative less often that you can begin to pack?
b) Are there items that you really don't want or use any more that you could donate to charity or sell in a garage sale?
c) Do you have packing supplies such as boxes, shrink wrap, blankets, and straps?

2) Consider the new home, will you need new items?
a) Curtains
b) Throw rugs
c) Throw pillows
d) Furniture
e) Pet supplies

3) Start talking to your service providers
a) Speak with you insurance carrier about the changes you will be making. They can guide you through the process of changing your home owners insurance as well as all other insurance policies you may have.
b) Mailing address will need to be updated. You can do this online in most places or go right down to your local post office. You can schedule this to be done at a future date so it can be taken care of as early as you know a move in date.
c) Cable and phone services are good to schedule as early as possible as well. They get booked and if you don't schedule them early you can be stuck waiting several days or even a week to get you new service.

4) If you are new to the area it is a good idea to spend a weekend or two prior to moving in to become acquainted with the location
a) Drive around and find the local stores and shopping centers.
b) Look around for your exercise locations, gyms, hiking trails, play grounds.
c) Locate and visit your local congregation.
