Managed Care for Xeriscaped Homes Info:

Homeowners are encouraged to contact CCMC with any questions, concerns, or feedback regarding their managed care yard maintenance services.

Reasons Why the Team May Have to Skip Your Home on a Service Day:
- Pet waste is present in service areas: Homeowners should routinely pick up and properly dispose of pet waste to ensure the area can be serviced.
- Inclement weather or saturated ground: Rain or excessive moisture can make mowing difficult and messy. In these situations, service may need to be skipped until the ground has had an opportunity to dry.
- Construction supplies or materials are present in service areas, or another contractor is onsite: Construction materials, equipment, supplies, or contractor activity may result in the home being skipped, as the landscape crew may not know the type of work taking place or whether the area is safe to service. Homeowners are responsible for ensuring service areas remain free of obstructions or materials that could result in their home being skipped.
- Locked gates or loose pets: Locked gates can prevent the team from accessing certain service areas, while loose pets may create a safety concern for the team.
****The scope of work and service schedule are subject to change at any time as deemed necessary by the Landscape Team. CCMC will communicate any changes via email blast as quickly as possible upon being notified by the Landscape Team.
****The use of industry-accepted chemicals may be used for fertilizer, or pre- and post-emergent weed treatment as part of the managed care program. Homeowners who wish to opt out of these treatments may notify CCMC.
