MANAGER’S MESSAGE
INTRODUCING NEW
FITNESS TRAIL
Throughout the year, Morrison Ranch residents enjoy the
lush green outdoor space our neighborhoods provide. Now,
residents will have one more way to enjoy the weather and
stay fit at the same time! We’re excited to announce the
installation of a Parcourse for your exercising enjoyment.
The new Parcourse will enhance the walking path just north
of the Silos between Higley and Recker roads. A Parcourse is
a station-based fitness trail with outdoor equipment placed
at intervals along the route, each catering to a different
aspect of physical fitness. Whether walking, running, or
riding your bike along the trail, you will find five stations
that promote strength, flexibility, and endurance. Residents
ages 13 and over and all activity levels can benefit from the
equipment that adds a dose of fun to daily exercise.
Outdoor fitness equipment doesn’t just help people develop
stronger bodies; it also helps relieve stress and promotes
better moods. In addition, after working out, people tend to
eat healthier and spend less time doing sedentary activities.
So, grab a friend or make a new one along the trail; working
out side by side gives neighbors a chance to connect.
Our goal is for everyone in Morrison Ranch to have the
opportunity to enjoy better health, happiness and build 1
friendships along the way.

DO I NEED TO SUBMIT A DESIGN REVIEW FOR A PERGOLA OR GAZEBO?
THE ANSWER IS YES!
Even though the structure is in your backyard, it is visible
over your privacy wall and by neighboring properties.
Before you install, please submit an application.
As your Design Review Liaison, I will guide you through
the process if additional information is needed.
We have streamlined the design modification process so
that all the information to aide and submit a project can
now be completed online for your convenience. The CC&R’s,
Design Guidelines, and the application are available on
the community website www.mymorrisonranch.org.
Once you are logged into the website, follow these few
easy steps.
Click on the button “Design Review - Submit a Request”
Select Modification Application
Complete the form and upload the necessary photos and
samples.
Click Submit
When applying for a Pergola or Gazebo, here is the list of
the REQUIRED information needed for the Design Review
Boards review:
1. A photo of the front of your home; this is for the
color matching process.
2. A photo of the project area.
3. A diagram showing the location of the pergola,
including measurements. Setback measurements
from privacy walls for pergolas (structures) is 7 feet
from the roof end, not the post. *See Example for
diagram guidance*
4. A sample photo of the color
5. If the pergola is going to be placed on a base such
as pavers, be sure to add the extra height in the
application.
Once your project has been received, it will be reviewed
for the required information, and if the application is

for review.

LANDSCAPE UPDATE
IDEAL TIME TO OVERSEED
LANDSCAPING TIPS brought to you by the Arizona Landscape Contractors’ Association, the Sustainable
Landscape Management (SLM) and the Arizona Certified Landscape Professional (ACLP) programs.
WHEN IS THE IDEAL TIME TO OVERSEED YOUR BERMUDAGRASS LAWN WITH PERENNIAL RYEGRASS?
Grass seed germinates faster and grows stronger when the planting season aligns
with the natural germination and growth processes of the plant. The influences
on germination and growth include both environmental conditions (which the turf
manager controls to some degree) and inherited influences in the seed. Perennial
ryegrass seeds have a very quick germination rate, (the seeds should germinate
within 5 to 10 days) so if the temperatures are right and the water and seed‐soil
contact are there, the overseeding operation should be successful.
• Air temperature‐wise, overseeding should be done when the daytime temperatures
are 80‐85°F and the nighttime temperatures are 55°F. weather.com provides
monthly high and low temperatures for Phoenix and Arizona over a three‐year
period. Last year, 2020, these ideal temperatures did not happen until the last week
of October. This year, 2021, the prediction for the ideal temperatures occurs the
third week of October. Check the weather over the next few months to schedule
the best time to start the overseeding process.
• The soil temperatures should be between 50°F and 65°F. An inexpensive soil
thermometer, available at most garden stores, can help eliminate the guesswork.
Check the temperature six inches down into the soil.
• Sowing the seed too early in the fall shall result in poor germination, birds feeding
on the seed, increased competition from weeds and slowing of the bermudagrass
dormancy.
• Sowing too late in the fall, may slow germination as well as growth and establishment of the seedlings and the first frost
may damage or kill them.
Proper soil preparation is also key to the
germination process. Much of the initial growth
of new grass seedlings happens underground,
where it cannot be seen. The seeds must come
into contact with the soil so that new roots get
seedlings firmly established.
With the challenging climatic changes occurring
in our area today, flexibility in adjusting the
dates for turf overseeding are key to not only
a successful operation but to saving money in
labor and seed if multiple visits are necessary to
achieve an acceptable lawn.

EVENTS KIM MILLER
Lifestyle Director
Soon Fall will be in the air and with it more pleasant Arizona temperatures.
Morrison Ranch parks will soon be bustling with soccer practice, family gatherings,
and neighbors enjoying time with their families in the beautiful weather.
Fall also brings a full calendar of community events, including several of our most
popular signature events that were cancelled due to the pandemic in 2020.
This month, we’ll be rockin’
the ranch with a Concert by
the Silos on September 23
featuring the band, Outside
the Line. Outside the Line is
a funk, dance, and Motown
band with an extensive
repertoire spanning the
60’s, 70’s, 80’s through
today. Residents of all ages
will love this band! We’ll
