Weeds ~ Mowing
Weeds – All weeds in greenbelts, common areas, East side walking trail near train tracks, and drainage channels to be sprayed by end of July. Homeowners are encouraged to pull their weeds adjacent to their fencing that includes these areas, making sure to not leave the pulled weeds behind, but to dispose of them accordingly.
Mowing – Beauty banding of 3’ to be done at the fence lines of all the common backyard and side yard areas of greenbelt and open spaces to be mowed once a month during the Spring/Summer months. The Native Grass will remain to grow between these beauty banding areas. It is important to let the Native Grass grow until it seeds in the fall.

Watering
The current irrigation system that was installed by the developer is currently being worked on to utilize it efficiently. It is a very intricate system that while can be very useful, does not go without its challenges. The Metro District is also working with Northern Water authorities to optimize the best possible solutions for Heritage Ridge’s irrigation. Town of Berthoud requires that we do not water or run irrigation systems between the hours of 10 a.m. and 6 p.m. If you see common area sprinklers running during this time, please contact Centennial Consulting Group, LLC, (970) 484-0101.

Greenbelt (Native Grass) Guidelines
The greenbelt areas - also called the common areas - contain native grass as detailed in the landscape plan for the district. Click here for details. We continue to work with our landscape vendor to improve the native grass throughout the District. The District has created guidelines regarding greenbelt usage and improvement, click here.
Snow Removal Guidelines
The District is responsible to clear snow from public sidewalks. See the District Maps Here: West of 5th Street or East of 5th Street. Homeowners are responsible for the sidewalk abutting their property. Please click here to read the Town of Berthoud’s snow removal policy.
