General Landscaping Guidelines

All developed homesites shall be landscaped according the plans approved by the ARC. All shrubs, grass, and plantings of every kind shall be kept well maintained, properly cultivated, and free of trash and other unsightly material. Landscaping as approved by the ARC shall be completed in a timely fashion.

Landscaping Plan:

A basic landscaping plan for each homesite must be designed by a registered State of Florida landscape architect or landscape designer and must be submitted to and approved by the ARC. The plan shall incorporate existing vegetation on the site and show existing trees to be removed. Existing trees over 6” in diameter may not be removed without prior approval from the ARC.

Trees:

In order that the natural beauty of the homesite may be preserved, no living tree having a diameter great than 6” shall be destroyed or remove from the property unless approved by the ARC. The builder shall take special care during construction not to injure or destroy trees or tree root systems including use of protective barriers to keep equipment away from trees.

Shrubbery:

There should be sufficient quantities of shrubbery to ensure a well-landscaped appearance consistent with a high quality community. Foundation shrubs shall be placed in key locations around the dwelling taking into account doors, windows, and other exterior features. The ARC may approve, on a case-by-case basis, hedges on the rear and side lot lines.

Sod:

All areas within each homesite not covered with pavement, buildings, shrubs, or groundcover shall be completely sodded unless otherwise approved by the ARC.

Mulch:

All planting areas within each homesite shall be covered and maintained with 3” or more of pine, cypress, gravel, or other suitable mulch. The type and color of mulch shall be identified on the landscape plan.

Irrigation:

All landscaped areas shall be provided with an automatic underground irrigation system.
