October 2026 Community Recap

November 12, 2026

Dear Residents,

Here’s what happened around Tradd’s Landing in October, from landscaping and clubhouse improvements to our fall community events.

Pool, Pavilion & Community Amenities

Broadford Group completed repairs and improvements to the clubhouse office door on October 27. Damaged pool lounge chairs were taken out of service.

The spa is back up and running.

Spa reminder

If you notice the spa has run out of propane, please email the Board at Traddshoa@gmail.com so we can arrange a refill. If you see Allen or Aaliyah around the community, feel free to let either of them know.

Landscaping, Irrigation & Community Beautification

JP Irrigation completed irrigation work throughout the community, including playground drip irrigation installation and zone testing. Alpha Landscaping cleared debris from common areas and installed sod, flowers, and pine needles at the front entrance, playground, and pool pavilion. Broadford Group trimmed dead palm fronds in common areas, including the entrance and clubhouse grounds.

Infrastructure, Lighting & Safety

SECO Energy continued replacing streetlights with dark-sky fixtures. The Board contacted the Florida Department of Transportation about repainting faded lane markings and directional arrows at our U.S. Highway 27 entrance.

As of October 27, Lake County had addressed the white stop bars inside the neighborhood and was working on the yellow lines.

Entrance pavement markings

FDOT confirmed that it’s responsible for painting the lines at the community entrance. The HOA is responsible for painting the left- and right-turn arrows, so we’ll add that work to our to-do list.

GT Homes Development

As discussed at the September Board meeting, which HOA attorney David Langley attended, residents’ questions about the proposed development were submitted to GT Homes. The Board is still awaiting a written response.

Board Communication & Community Maintenance

The Board completed its fall exterior property maintenance review October 21–23. Residents with identified concerns received letters asking them to address the upkeep items described in the letters and shown in the accompanying photos. Thank you for following through and helping keep our community well maintained.

Community Events & Volunteers

Thank you to everyone who joined our October 31 Halloween event at the pool pavilion. A special thank-you to the Singh family for their donations and to Andrew Singh and Ricky Ramsahoye for going above and beyond. We appreciated the music, beverages, and candy. Thanks to Patricia Cheeks for the popular ghost ride to the trick-or-treat house, and to Diane Percival and Ameesha Rutherford for volunteering and making the event especially fun.

Thank you to everyone who participated in the October yard sale. Three of the four steel stakes and one anchor pole were stolen from the community yard sale sign. The HOA will need to order a replacement.
