Landscape Guidelines 2007

 Landscape Guidelines - original guidelines

These guidelines were established to:

1. Maintain the value, character and appearance of the residential community.
2. Provide a consistent landscaping approach to all homes in the community.
3. Preserve the quality of the natural amenities of our subdivision.
4. Insure that consistent criteria will be applied to all homeowners regarding landscape beds, lawn maintenance, tree planting, removal and pruning.

With these ideas in mind, here are the guidelines:

· Each homeowner is responsible for maintaining all trees, plantings and shrubbery in a neat and orderly manner.
· Lawn maintenance, which includes mowing on a regular basis, fertilizer and weed killer at least twice yearly. The grass should not exceed six (6) inches in height.
· Homeowners are expected to demonstrate reasonable effort to keep their trees, plantings, shrubs and lawns adequately watered to prevent their demise.
· All bedding areas on each lot shall be mulched to prevent weed promulgation and loss of soils. Bark chips, pine needles, cypress mulch, soil blends or other acceptable wood product derivatives may be used for bedding coverage.
