Community Update: Swale & Vegetation Management at Blackberry Run and Boulder Ridge Alley

Starting the week of September 8, 2026, Gomez Landscaping will begin targeted site clearing and maintenance across a 4.41-acre area, with completion by October 9, 2026.

This work is designed to allow city staff to gain access to stormwater outfalls and prepare for high water events by clearing invasive growth, and enhance visibility while carefully preserving the natural character and established trees on the property.

What to expect during the project:

• Invasive Removal: Comprehensive removal of all invasive blackberry vegetation and small trees (under 2.5 inches in caliper).

• Targeted Tree Care: All healthy, established trees will remain. Any small trees marked for preservation by our City Arborist will be protected. Crews will hand-prune and lift lower branches on remaining trees and shrubs to improve healthy growth and overall sightlines.

• Low-Impact Methods: To protect the land, existing root systems, and nearby concrete, work will be completed primarily by hand using small tools and light equipment.

• Swale Protection: No heavy machinery will be permitted within the storm swale area to protect the ground, sensitive vegetation, and watershed infrastructure.

• Full Cleanup: All cleared brush, branches, and debris will be completely removed and properly disposed of off-site.

Thank you for your patience as we work to care for and maintain our community's green spaces! Please feel free to reach out with any questions.
