Yards

It's that time of year... yard work! I wanted to put out a reminder about landscaping. The following is from the Good Neighbor Policy:

1. Residents will maintain landscaping. This includes maintaining a weed-controlled grass no higher than three inches, and lawns should be watered regularly to maintain a green appearance (unless water restrictions are imposed by the local municipal, county or state government).

2. Flower or shrubbery beds shall be maintained so as to stay weed-free.

3. Trees should be trimmed so as to not encroach upon neighboring properties or streets.

Spring is the best time to apply moss killer to lawns, and de-thatch and aerate. This is also a great time to pull weeds before they have a chance to drop their seeds. Clover seemed to be a real problem in our neighborhood last year. If not controlled, it will take over a lawn in no time.

Remember to put in an ACC request if you plan on making any permanent improvements to your home. You can get the form by emailing lindsey@jc-higgins.com
