Spring & Summer Maintenance Program
While maintenance takes place all year, here are some of the specifics for the sites we care for and what happens during the warmer months.
The Panorama Hills RA is taking a proactive approach to help protect the water that we all depend on as we anticipate that City of Calgary water restrictions will continue to go in effect if we do not receive a substantial amount of rain. Therefore:
- We will reduce grass watering efforts and will follow City restrictions
- We will use drought resistant grass seed with all repairs
- Although we have ordered flowers last fall, we are looking at drought-tolerant plants that can be added this year and in the future.
- We will invest in rain barrels to capture as much rain as possible.
