Tennis and Shuffleboard Courts Cleaned
The tennis courts and shuffleboard courts have been professionally cleaned and are in like-new condition and open for play. Shuffleboard cues and pucks are in the garage opposite the tennis court. The cues and pucks are immediately on the right inside the garage. Put the cues and pucks back in the garage after playing. Keys to the garage and tennis court are available from Maurice at 973-812-4177.
Landscape Update
Work is complete on the removal of dead bushes and trees. Some new bushes have been planted to replace them and additional bushes have been placed in areas in need of foliage. New pachysandra was planted along walkways as needed. During a four day period, mulch was spread throughout the complex, and grass seed and fertilizer were applied where needed. Irrigation system repairs were made to ensure all plantings are watered properly.
Garage Electricity
Recently, the electricity in the garages of buildings 9 and 11 went out. This causes serious problems for residents who do not have manual key access on their garage door.
The electrician says the power outage is usually caused by a resident plugging in too many tools or devices. That overload triggers an outage in the garages of two buildings.
Please be considerate when you are using electrical devices in your garage. There is only one outlet in each garage, and it cannot handle multiple extension cords or plugs.
Tulip Gardens garages were originally constructed with two access systems. One is a remote and the other is a key in the center of the garage door, enabling the door to be lifted manually. Over the years, some owners have chosen to eliminate this key entry and rely only on a touch pad on the side of the garage door. If the power goes out…as it did in Hurricane Sandy….those garages are not accessible.
Should you have any questions and/or concerns regarding this correspondence, please contact the Management Office at 973-790-1200 ext. 106 or via email at hforde@hamptonmgt.com.
Thank you.
Tree Work Completed
The arborist from BrightView strongly recommended extensive tree work. He identified 33 trees that needed pruning, shaping and dead-branch removal.
The Garden Committee of the Board carefully reviewed the proposed work, inspecting each tree included in the proposal. Then the Board authorized the proposal.
Keeping these trees healthy is cost effective because removing them and replanting is far more expensive.
