Rooted in Results: Smart Landscaping for Every Budget: Whether you’re maintaining a mature landscape or planning a complete refresh, great landscaping starts with making informed decisions that balance beauty, function, and long-term value. In this presentation from Christopher Gonzalez of Gonzo Bros, we’ll explore practical landscaping best practices, property safety and functionality, how to maintain healthy outdoor spaces, when renovation makes sense, and how choosing the right plants for the right places can help you create an impressive and beautiful landscape without overspending.

Is your HOA making financial decisions without clarity of your property’s risk exposure? If so you’re flying blind. Come join Elizabeth Wright & Nick Bailey of Paragon Builders as they walk you through Paragon’s Exterior Risk and Capital Assessment and how it provides HOA boards with the real data you need to plan smarter, protect your communities and avoid the surprise costs that blow up reserve funds and frustrate homeowners. Whether your dealing with aging roofs, exterior envelope issues, drainage issues or simply trying to justify next years budget, this assessment will change the conversation.
Plus: HOA legislative updates and Open Forum: Like open mic without the music! HOA leaders get a chance to discuss issues affecting their HOAs, seek resources and talk about best practices.
