SMA Facilities / Landscape Committee
We formed a formal landscaping committee in January 2009 for Sonata Maintenance Association. There has never been a formal landscaping committee in the past and since there is a lot of responsibility we felt a three person committee was necessary. We knew we could make some significant improvements and in the past several years we have accomplished a lot.
We all have unique qualities that make up for an effective committee. We are always open to any suggestions about the landscaping here in Sonata Maintenance.
