Agreed, agreed, and agreed..
 
i think i may have let some of you down today. i actually submitted by hardscape/landscape plans to the HOA mgmt company today. Got my pool and clubhouse privileges reinstated.  next step is to get the fines waived. more importantly my wife is now off my back about not being able to take our daughter to the pool.

aloha and go pavers. its already done, almost a year and a half ago. i was delinquent with my plans.
 
Aloha and Go pavers only does hardscape right?  ISn't there someone who does hardscape and landscape (trees/plants)

Do you guys know who does the landscaping for the new Irvine homes like La Vita, Vicenza and Trevi, Amelia in OH?

There's Aloha paver co. which only does pavers and there's Aloha landscape that does just about everything landscaping related.  Two complete different company.

Go Paver only do pavers and I believe they can also do sprinklers.

Southwinds is one of landscaping company that does a lot of works for model homes in Irvine.  There's good chance that Southwinds did those model homes too.http://swlandscaping.com
 
Aloha Pavers quoted me 37k just for pavers and turf... Would still have to pay for someone to do irrigation, lighting, plants, planting, etc.

Seemed pricey.

So whats the real reason why you relinquished?  Did HOA threaten lien action?  Quadruple fines that's too much even for a 1%er?

i told my wife i submitted them a month ago. she was asking whether the plans had been approved or not. i wasnt going to be able to stall much longer before she figured out i was lying. so got them in and got the pool/clubhouse privileges reinstated.  her main reason for me getting the plans in was to be able to take our daughter to the pool.

Ah you guys forget, if little Qwerty didn't need to go to the pool ... All of this could have been delayed some more. 

Should have given her that fancy 1st birthday Mr. Q.  ;)
 
I got a black business card at my door from Lundun Group Landscape Exteriors. Phone number 714.412.1008. Anyone dealt with or know of this landscaping company?
 
She hasn't even used it. Granted it's only been 4 days. I told her she be at the damn pool every weekend for all the shit I was getting about not being able to go to the pool.
