Hawk Highlights - Monthly Grayhawk News

GCA Board Briefs

If you missed the October 6, 2025 Grayhawk Community Association (GCA) Board of Directors meeting, we've got you covered. Here is a recap.

Board meetings are on the first Monday of the month at 5:30 p.m. in person at the GCA Office in the Talon Room or via Zoom. Learn more.

Common Area Overseeding

DLC Resources will be laying seed throughout Grayhawk the week of October 13. Please be mindful to stay off the grass as watering will be more consistent to allow the seed to grab hold. DLC will place signage in the areas that will be affected. Areas not being overseeded this year will be fertilized and watered to maintain healthy Bermuda grass as long as weather allows.

Assessment Reminder

As a reminder, your GCA and RVA fourth quarter assessments were due on October 1 and will be considered late if they have not cleared by October 30. Visit the HOA Dues of our website to review your payment options. Payments can also be dropped off at 7940 E. Thompson Peak Pkwy. M-F from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. or in the mail slot in the door after hours.

Grayhawk homeowners are encouraged to propagate plants in their own yards and donate them to the Association for DLC to use throughout the community during the fall planting season through the Plant it Forward program. Learn more about the program, including what type of plants DLC is looking for, by visiting the GCA website.

Fall donations dates are schedule on Tuesday, Oct. 28 and Wednesday, Oct. 29. Donations can be dropped off in a box either day by 1 p.m. at any of the following locations:

Monterey Park Tot Lot- E. Whistling Wind Way and N. 74th Way
Windsong Mailbox- E. White Tail Way and N. 76th Way
Peregrine Pool (for Retreat residents only)- E. Angel Spirit Way and N. 82nd Way
Los Vientos Pool (for Retreat residents only)- E. Windwood Ln. and N. 81st Pl.

If you aren’t sure how to go about propagating a plant, you’re in luck! Landscape Committee Chairperson Arlene Smith and resident plant guru Victoria Kauzlarich (author of “Our Desert, Our Home” in The Grayhawk Flight) created a how-to video walking viewers through the easy steps of propagating various desert plants.

Construction Material

If you are having construction materials delivered, please make sure that they are stored on your property (driveway or landscaping) and that the materials are not blocking any portion of the sidewalk and street. This includes materials that are delivered and will be installed the same day. The sidewalks need to remain clear at all times for the safety of your neighbors.

As a reminder, our Grayhawk Community Association has been moved to Area 2 for the City of Scottsdale Brush and Bulk collection in 2025. Learn more.
