Landscape and Irrigation Committee

Overview

The principal function of the Landscape & Irrigation Committee is to provide input and recommendations to both Management and the Board of Directors regarding maintenance and future enhancements of all Common Area landscaping in Symphony Village as well as support for the operations and growth of the Symphony Village Irrigation System. This committee also provides recommendations and direction to all residents for landscaping on residential properties in the community.

In order to assess and fix the issue (if necessary), residents must submit a Work Order Request, which will be sent to Village Management for resolution.
