Pool screen repair in The Springs, Longwood
The Springs is a guard-gated, 400-plus-acre community developed in the 1970s on the former Sanlando Springs public park, built around a spring-fed swimming lagoon under a dense ancient-oak canopy and adjacent to the Wekiva River Conservation Area. It is the clearest no-see-um-mesh case in Longwood, and one of the heaviest roof-litter neighborhoods too.
The neighborhood
Guard-gated, developed in the 1970s, with home counts reported between roughly 600 and 1,100-plus depending on the source. The community sits directly against the Wekiva River Conservation Area, inside Seminole County’s Wekiva River Protection Area, where a minimum of 50 percent of trees must be preserved.

Two loads at once: canopy and water
Riverine and spring-run habitat plus a legally protected tree canopy stack here in a way most Longwood neighborhoods don’t see both at full strength. Oak litter and pollen land on roof panels under a canopy that isn’t going anywhere — the City’s tree ordinance and the county’s 50 percent preservation rule both protect it — while chironomid midges from the spring-fed lagoon and the Wekiva itself push the mesh decision toward 20x20 no-see-um.

The same canopy gives wasps and birds plenty of natural nesting nearby, so a torn panel here is worth fixing promptly rather than living with. More on that →
Jurisdiction is decided parcel by parcel
A Longwood mailing address does not tell you who your building authority is. The City puts it plainly: “Although you may live in the City of Longwood with a 32750 zip code, you may still be in Unincorporated Seminole County. This applies to residents in the 32779 zip code as well.” Confirm your own parcel before assuming either answer applies to you — the permit guide walks through how.
