Watering Street Trees

NEW! You may have noticed we have not been getting much rain these past few weeks. While our landscapers are working hard to ensure street trees are getting water by adding and filling gator bags weekly, we ask that residents assist with watering their street trees when they can. This will help the trees survive in between rains.

Why can’t our landscaper handle filling gator bags and watering street trees you might ask? There are over 200 gator bags throughout the Willowsford community placed on newly planted street trees as well as trees that may not be doing so well on their own. While DTE goes through the process of adding water to the gator bags twice a week, supplemental watering from residents would be extremely beneficial during times where we are not getting as much rain as needed.

Playground Improvements Update

UPDATE! We are excited to announce playground installations and renovations have begun! During installation, small equipment such as mini excavators will be present - please do not enter the construction zone at any time. Weather pending, work will conclude mid-July. We look forward to completion of this project so your kiddos can have a more enriching summer!

Japanese Beetle Treatment

Down to Earth Landscaping will be spraying flowering street trees for Japanese Beetles the week of June 26th. Residents can expect to see DTE landscapers spraying flowering street trees throughout the community. Trees that will be sprayed will be clearly flagged and the area should be avoided while drying (8 hours maximum). Spraying for Japanese Beetles typically occurs in the morning.

Fitness Center Reminders

The Fitness Center provides residents with state-of-the-art gym equipment. With summer officially here, we wanted to send out a friendly reminder regarding gym use. The Fitness Center is for use by residents only and must be accessed via key fob between the hours of 4 AM and 11 PM. Residents under the age of 18 must have a form on file with the Association to use the facility. Forms may be requested at HOA@willowsford.com. Please try not to drop the weights, whether machine weights or free weights, as it causes faster wear and tear on the equipment. Finally, please do not prop the gym doors open for any reason. If you have any questions about gym use or would like to report any issues, please send an email to HOA@willowsford.com.

Community Standards Inspections

Our Community Standards Team is currently conducting comprehensive inspections in The Grange. During a comprehensive inspection, our Covenants Team reviews the entire exterior of each Lot. These inspections are conducted on each lot every 18 months. Comprehensive inspections ensure properties are well maintained keeping your property values high. If you have any questions about the inspection process, please reach out to our Covenants Manager, Marlith, at DRC@willowsford.com. As a reminder, curb appeal inspections occur weekly throughout all four villages.

Winemaker Dinner: 
Featuring Robert Young Estate Winery

NEW! Saturday, September 23rd from 6 - 9 PM at Sycamore House. In the first event of its kind at Willowsford, Willowsford Kitchen is excited to come together with Robert Young Estate Winery to offer a six-course plated dinner of perfectly paired seasonal fare and an array of the best wines from this acclaimed Sonoma County winery. 

Robert Young, a 5th generation family member, is bringing his wines and expertise to the Sycamore House to share in an evening of good food, great wine, and exceptional storytelling. The Young family have lived on and farmed their 448-acre ranch in Alexander Valley for over 160 years, passed down through 6 generations. They are the largest family-owned grower of premium grapes in Alexander Valley, and Robert Young was the first to plant Cabernet Sauvignon in the valley back in 1963. The family has grown grapes for many leading premium wineries; including Chateaux St. Jean, Ferrari Carano, Pride, Simi, Rodney Strong, among others. The family started Robert Young Estate Winery in 1997, selecting only 7% of the grapes they grow from the best vineyard blocks on their property for their estate wines. Robert Young is known for big, lush Chardonnays, bold Cabernets, and sublime Bordeaux Blends, all grown on their 448-acre estate in Alexander Valley. View Six-Course Menu & Register Here
