Almost half of the lawns in our Sub need work.
Mariya's Green Thunb
We all can't do what Mariya does but it's not fair for those that keep their lawns dandelion free to have those who don't allow their overgrown weeds blow into their neighbor's yards.
Pull or Spray?
For dandelions, spraying with a weed killer is generally more effective than simply "dinging" (likely referring to a physical removal method). Spraying allows for a more targeted and potentially permanent solution by targeting the roots, while hand-removal can leave root fragments behind, allowing for regrowth.
Watch the YouTube by clicking on the guy on the left.
- Dinging (Hand-Removal):While physically removing dandelions can be effective for a small number of plants, it's often not a long-term solution. If any part of the taproot remains in the soil, the dandelion can regrow.
- Spraying with Weed Killer:Using a herbicide that kills both the leaves and roots is a more comprehensive approach. The best time to spray is in the fall, when dandelions are transferring nutrients to their roots in preparation for winter, making the herbicide more effective at reaching and killing the root system.
- Types of Weed Killers:Herbicides containing active ingredients like 2,4-D, dicamba, or triclopyr are common choices for dandelion control. Some natural options, like vinegar-based solutions, can also be effective, but may require multiple applications.
- Spot Treatment:If dandelions are only in small patches, spot treating with a herbicide can be a more environmentally friendly and cost-effective approach than spraying the entire lawn.
- Spray Collars:When spraying dandelions in mixed plantings, using a spray collar (like a plastic bottle with the top and bottom cut off) can help contain the herbicide and protect nearby plants.
- Injuring the Plant:If dandelions have developed a waxy coating on their leaves, slightly scuffing them before spraying can help the herbicide penetrate the foliage.

What is an HOA and Who is the Joliette Place HOA?
First, all deeded owners’ in Joliette Place subdivision are members of Joliette Place Neighborhood Association Inc. making us all part of our Joliette Place HOA.
Our HOA is comprised of a board of directors who live in the community and are elected by our fellow residents. Our association’s primary function is to ensure all residents are adhering to body’s established rules, sometimes known as covenants, conditions, and restrictions (CC&R).
The duties and responsibilities of a HOA can vary, but most associations manage at least these three:
- Setting a budget. Associations set a budget and ensure expenses related to shared amenities, regular upkeep, and maintenance are paid.
- Addressing resident concerns. This can include resolving conflicts between residents or other external issues.
- Establishing new rules. Although some don’t care for rules, they do ensure everyone in the community knows what to expect from their neighborhood. As issues arise, the HOA can create new rules to keep everyone happy and comfortable.
For higher-end developments right here in Boise, have additional responsibilities that include annual projects, planning community events, or even tougher enforcement procedures for violations with annual budgets over 100 times of that of ours.
As Joliette Place starts as a Self Managing HOA there are a few changes that need and will be made. When Joliette Place reverted back to a self managing HOA we were able to look forward to 2025 and wave our regular annual dues for this year. This decision was made contemplating a few amendments being made and updating our 1999 CC&Rs.

Can you help?
We have 3 Storm Drains in Our Subdivision
Residents are asked to refrain from piling snow onto storm drains. Drains should be left unobstructed to allow for runoff and to help prevent localized flooding. ACHD teams will work to manage storm drains covered in the plowing efforts, and appreciate any help by neighbors to keep an eye on and clear drains to the best of their ability.
To locate your nearest storm drain, visit http://www.achdidaho.org/stormdrainmap
Are You Able Bodied?
Locate the 3 Storm Drains on the map on the left, they are in the Southwest corner (the 3 Green rectangles).
If you have 5 minutes every couple of days please locate and clear the grates of our 3 Storm Drains from SNOW & ICE and possibly leaves and debris not cleaned during fall clean up.
Residents Asked to Park Off-Street
With snowplows heading to residential streets, citizens can help ACHD crews by parking in driveways or off the street. This allows the plows to have a clear path and more effectively clear snow from the roadway. Residents should be aware that vehicles left on the street may be blocked in by snow and should be prepared to dig their vehicles out or have someone on call to do so.
Driveways & sidewalks
Remember to,
1) Don't shovel snow into the street
2) Clear the gutter so the water can flow as the snow melts
3) Only pile snow on to your own property & not your neighbors or the street
