Use these green tips for keeping your landscaping (and watering) on the eco-friendly side!
Just one leaky faucet or spigot can waste approximately 2,000 gallons of water each year. Repair or replace old or damaged fixtures indoors or outdoors. If you suspect a leak, try this method to help you verify the problem: check the water meter before and after a two-hour period when no water is being used. If the meter does not read exactly the same, you probably have a leak.
Research the various shading strategies that will work best in your regional climate and your microclimate. To block solar heat in the summer but let much of it in during the winter, use deciduous trees. To provide continuous shade or to block heavy winds, use dense evergreen trees or shrubs. For more information on regional and microclimates, visit the Energy Savers Web site. Planting shrubs, bushes, and vines next to your house creates dead air spaces that insulate your home in both winter and summer. Plant so there will be at least 1 foot (30 centimeters) of space between full-grown plants and your home's wall.
Remember .... "Dream Green"

Today my father turns 90 as we celebrate Memorial Day. He is a World War II veteran and proud of it as he served in Europe from 1941 thru 1945.
He was a good dad growing up teaching us the values of right and wrong, treating others as we would like to be treated and being the best you can be.
So today we celebrate him as well as Memorial Day. His goal is to live to be 100 years young and maybe he might make it with that attitude.
Happy Birthday Dad!

On Wednesday, May 20 Bay East REALTORS® and staff met with the Hayward City Manager and other Hayward officials to discuss the latest version of their proposed "abandoned" properties ordinance. The City has not yet adopted this ordinance but seems intent on taking a purely regulatory approach to addressing blighted, vacant properties.
Bay East has been suggesting an alternative approach that's based on stepped-up enforcement of the existing community preservation ordinance and better promotion of efforts including the Neighborhood Partnership Program.
To review the latest version of the draft ordinance please click here.
Please note: This city has not yet adopted this ordinance.
