Your HOA at Work

• LARMAC’s landscape contractor, O’Connell Landscape Management, uses an Integrated Pest Management approach to protect and preserve community landscape assets.
• Healthy plants are naturally more resistant to pests, diseases, and environmental stress, which can reduce the need for intervention.
• LARMAC evaluates aging plant material and replaces vegetation that is known to harbor rodents or is more susceptible to pest problems.
• When pest issues arise, O’Connell evaluates cultural, mechanical, biological, organic, and regulated synthetic options.
• Organic and non-synthetic alternatives are considered whenever practical and effective. In some situations, regulated synthetic products remain the most effective and responsible tool for protecting community assets and maintaining safe, functional recreation areas.

Any fertilizers, herbicides, pesticides, or other landscape materials used in Ladera Ranch common areas are applied only by trained and licensed professionals in accordance with applicable regulations.
