In recent months, the Landscaping Committee had several residents ask whether it was possible to plant a tree within Royal Oaks honoring a loved one. Memorials are at the heart of recognizing family members and friends whom we have loved and admired. We felt this was a wonderful suggestion and the Landscape Committee worked diligently with Silversand Services to research tree and bench offerings, placement and pricing.
We are happy to announce that thanks to the Landscape Committee’s hard work Royal Oaks RCOA will launch a memorial program allowing current and former residents of Royal Oaks RCOA to make a living memorial of a beautiful tree, or alternatively a park bench for a loved one at a carefully chosen location.
Tree offerings are 45 Gallon Shumard Oak or 45 Gallon Crape Myrtle each priced at $1100.00. The cost includes the tree of choice, disease/fertilizer treatment, 1 year warranty if the tree needs to be replaced, tree bubbler as needed, staking and a commemorative plaque placed adjacent to the tree naming the honoree and donor.
If a tree isn’t your preference, you can donate a park bench. The benches are made of a durable recycled plastic and will have a commemorative plaque on them as well for a cost of $1000.00. Several locations have been identified as wonderful settings for park benches, providing a nice place to sit and visit, while adding to the beauty of Royal Oaks.
We would also like to give special thanks to resident and Landscape Committee member, Karen Shewbart and Mel Reist, Silversand Services for putting this together. The program will be administered by our HOA Management team and maintenance of the trees will be provided by Silversand Services. If you are interested in making a memorial donation please contact Freda Raymond or Megan Blocker for more information.
