In addition to common area maintenance, Heritage Landscape Services (HLS) also provides limited turf maintenance for certain properties paying a special monthly assessment in the following sections:
- Overland Park courtyard homes
- Southern Walk courtyard homes
- Park Glenn villas
- Demott & Silver townhomes
- Hillside single family homes
Landscaped Property List / Assessment Costs / Scope of Services & Management:
If your property is in a section that receives landscaping services, you will be part of the following landscape list and your monthly assessment will automatically include fees for these services. D&S condos are included but not listed individually on this list:
Limited turf maintenance services include mowing/trimming, turf applications, aeration/overseeding, mulching and leaf management. On-site watering is not included in these landscape services. Residents are responsible to water their own property. Damages due to improper water management fall on the owner. Residents who desire additional services outside the scope of what is outlined may do so with another contractor at their own expense. Please review the following Scope of Services and submit your name, email(s) and address to landscape@broadlandshoa.com to receive notices when seasonal services occur.
During mowing, HLS will trim along shrub beds, foundations, A/C units, fencing, deck posts, steps, vinyl siding, egresses, mailbox posts, or other areas. As such, owners are required to establish a 3″-6″ weed-free zone around these areas. This is to ensure that they remain in good condition and do not get damaged by the string trimmers. To address these challenges, please review the HLS Landscape Management link below.

There are several products that HLS uses on the common area for fertilizer and pre and post weed control. All products are mixed with water and applied to the turf only. All of our technicians are certified by the state of Virginia Dep of Agriculture (VADCS) and follow all regulations that are enforced by the state and federal governments. It takes about two hours to dry after the product is applied to the turf and is safe then to walk on the turf. Once it’s dry, it is absorbs into the plant so there is no residual chemical on the leaves. It is a safe way to apply because the chemical is added to water and it’s a very small amount of chemical. The amount is 90% water to 10% chemical. This is a very environmentally friendly and safe procedure. HLS posts a notice near the property prior to the application along with notifying the HOA a week prior and post a noticed after application, once the products have been sprayed on the turf.
