Associations and cities have rules for landscaping. Here is what they usually cover and how to plan around them.
Many neighborhoods have rules that affect landscaping. Associations may review plant lists, tree removal, fence styles, patio sizes, mulch colors and even the height of hedges. Cities and counties have their own rules about drainage, retaining walls, easements and setbacks. Skipping these steps can cause delays, fines or a request to undo finished work.
The simplest way to avoid trouble is to ask early. We help you understand what is likely to apply, prepare sketches, plant lists and material samples for association reviews and build to the approved plan. We cannot speak for every association or office, so we always point you to the source to confirm. For managers and boards, we provide written scopes, schedules and records of what was done.
