THE TRAILS AT ABBEY FIELDS
What’s New
Structure, Fence, and Landscaping
March 10, 2023
Are you planning landscaping, tree planting, building new structures (patio, deck), installing solar panels, installing a fence, or other projects? Please note some important reminders. All of the above require approval by the HOA Board. Please submit any yard or improvement plans to the Board's architectural committee for approval prior to beginning projects. Fences must conform to the HOA bylaws, black metal fencing is preferred, and other requirements apply to lake lots.
For plantings between the sidewalk and road, a permit from the City of Champaign is required. The City specifies approved tree varieties.
Secure Trampolines, Outdoor Furniture
March 13, 2023
After a few reports of trampolines and patio furniture becoming airborne and causing damage to houses during recent storms and windy days, please remember to secure any items in your yard. Trampolines should be appropriately anchored down, and consider professional assistance for securing to withstand high winds. Lighter patio furniture, flower pots, and grills should be moved close to the house in a sheltered spot or into the garage when weather threatens. Wind is a fact of life in the Midwest, so it's always good to be prepared for it!
Annual Meeting Held on Feb 6

A large portion of the budget is dedicated to common areas for weed control, mowing, brush clean up, grass reseeding, and mulch. It also includes maintenance of the entry waterfall pumps and electrical system. New Board members Bret Kroencke and Sheila Keyser will replace outgoing members, each serving a 3-year term.
