As we roll into May and temperatures start to rise, Arizona HOAs have a fresh set of hot topics to focus on. From preparing for monsoon season to keeping pool areas safe and inviting, now is the time to tackle key issues that help communities stay safe, efficient, and well-maintained. This month, we’re diving into a few priorities worth your board’s attention like seasonal reminders, proactive maintenance tips, and simple ways to keep homeowners engaged and informed.
This month, we’re highlighting a handful of timely topics that Arizona boards should have on their radar. Each of these will be explored in more depth over the next few weeks, but here’s a quick look at what’s worth focusing on right now.
Summer Landscaping Adjustments
We know landscaping is always a hot topic in our unique desert climate. As the weather shifts, so do your community’s landscaping needs. This is the right moment to evaluate water schedules, plant resilience, and any needed updates to maintain curb appeal without waste.
Prepping for Monsoon Season
Arizona’s monsoons officially begin in mid-June, but May is the ideal time to inspect roofs, clear drainage paths, and ensure landscaping won’t contribute to flooding or storm damage. A little preparation now can go a long way when the heavy rains hit.
Pool Season Readiness
With pools opening and temperatures rising, it’s a good time to revisit pool rules, inspect gates and safety equipment, and remind residents about sun safety. Making sure everything is clean, safe, and fully operational helps avoid mid-season headaches.
Community-Wide Safety
With schools letting out and summer vacations beginning, now is a good time to remind residents to look out for one another. Encourage neighbors to report any suspicious activity, drive cautiously with more kids outside, and make use of exterior lighting or neighborhood watch programs. A few small reminders can go a long way in keeping the community safe and secure during these busy months.
These are just a few of the conversations we’ll be expanding on throughout May. Whether your board is focused on safety, savings, or seasonal updates, we’re here to support you in keeping your community running smoothly all summer long.
