The Franklin Valley Board has hired Greenscapes to plow the roads in our subdivision this coming winter. This is the same snowplowing service that was hired last year.

Homeowners interested in having their driveways plowed by the same service can contact Greenscapes by calling or texting 248-855-0616 or by e-mailing greenscapeslandscape@comcast.net. The cost per household for the season is $300.

Thanks to Board member Greg Knick for the time he spent communicating with several companies and collecting service quotes!

Good news — Venmo is now an option for paying annual association dues! Scan the 2-D code below in your Venmo app to send your payment. You can also use this link: Venmo | Franklin Valley Association. Dues are currently $150 and are primarily used for landscaping of common areas, snowplowing, and maintenance (such as the split-rail fence along Middlebelt and 14 Mile).

If you have household hazardous waste (including used batteries and light bulbs) or old electronics, please dispose of these items safely by taking them to the West Bloomfield Civic Center Complex (4550 Walnut Lake Road) during the dates and times shown on the flyer below!

You can also drop off private documents to be shredded — same location, different dates.

The HOA board has hired Greenscapes to plow the roads in our subdivision this coming winter. This is the same snowplowing service we have used in recent years. Homeowners interested in having their driveways plowed by the same service can contact Greenscapes by calling 248-855-0616.
