  • Kiosk Upgrade: Kiosk Upgrade de: As part of our efforts to enhance the aesthetics of Baywatch, the front kiosk underwent an exciting upgrade. Following consultations with a professional design firm, a community survey was conducted to gather resident input for the final artwork selection. Based on the survey results, artwork showcasing the Palos Verdes coastline was selected and installed, adding a visual  focal point to the entrance. We thank everyone who participated in the survey and contributed to the success of this project.

    Baywatch Landscaping


  • Baywatch Landscaping and GS Brothers: Thanks to the expertise of GS Brothers Landscaping company, 2024 was a transformative year for Baywatch’s landscaping. This change has brought superior service to our community which is evident in the vibrancy, cleanliness, and overall quality of our outdoor spaces.

  • Beautiful Cyclamen Flowers: GS Brothers Landscaping generously provided 40 premium Cyclamen flowers, valued at $1,664, at no cost to the HOA. These vibrant additions enhance the planters by the front gate and the pool area, adding much needed color and vibrance during this holiday season.
  • UPCOMING LANDSCAPING PROJECTS:
  • Pool Area Enhancements: Pool Area Enhancements: Decorative rocks will be installed around the pool area planters to match the front monument by the front gate and to better secure the mulch from spilling over. Flowers for the pool planters will continue to be provided at no extra charge.

  • Grass Restoration: The grassy areas along Capitol Drive and near the pool will be overseeded with fescue seed to address patchy spots. This service is included at no additional charge. Some planters will also be hand-cleaned to avoid disrupting mulch, ensuring a polished and well-maintained look.

  • Irrigation Repairs: The GS Brothers conducted a community wide inspection of the Baywatch irrigation system. Their proposal includes system improvements such as repairing broken lines, installing new components (pipes, controllers, sprinkler heads), and integrating the system with existing valve zones. The work also involves flushing, testing, and optimizing the system for performance. Site restoration and a one-year warranty are included. We are in the process of scheduling a date for this major project.

    The Asphalt Project


  • Roadway and Asphalt Projects: In 2024, Baywatch completed essential roadway improvements, including a seal coat application in September and follow-up repairs in October to address additional damages. Thank you to all residents for your cooperation during these projects, which enhance the safety and appearance of our community.

    Additional Community Enhancements


  • Solar Pool Umbrellas: The old, worn-out umbrellas have been replaced with new ones featuring 10” LED lights. This improvement, costing only $200+ in total, is a modest yet significant enhancement for the pool area.
  • Enhanced Security: For peace of mind, new security cameras have been installed at the front gate and by the pool area, enhancing the safety of our community for all residents.
  • Looking Ahead to 2025: Exciting plans for 2025 are already in motion, including:
    • Pool Replastering and Decking: Scheduled for April 2025, this project will include new decking, LED lighting, and Baywatch-logo plaster.
