Things To Help You Meet The HOA Requirements
Landscape
Landscape should be completed within one year. A good landscape can greatly increase the value of your property, so planning is essential. Before you begin any landscaping, have your plan approved by the Architectural Control Committee and submit it online.
Your front yard should be at least 25% grass or drought-resistant ground cover. An irrigation plan must be submitted with your landscape plan. You should plant at least two deciduous trees measuring at least 1 1/2 inches in diameter and 8 feet tall, with at least one in the front yard.
Refer to the Architectural Standards & Guidelines when developing your plans.
To Get Ideas
- Visit the Montrose Botanical Gardens to see displays of different turf grasses and how much water and mowing each requires.
- Talk with your landscape company about beautiful native plants to include in a water-wise yard.
- Drive through more established neighborhoods to get ideas for interesting landscapes.
Variety Is A Good Thing
- You may want a traditional lawn.
- You might be interested in xeriscape, which is a water-wise use of native plants and drought-tolerant grasses.
- You might want mostly stone. Consider boulders, berms, and interesting stone mulch. Just remember you must have 25% grass or ground cover and two trees.
Fencing
You are not required to fence your yard. But if you do, it must be white 6 foot vinyl like those that are already in the neighborhood.
Flags & signs:
If you plan to display a flag or have a need for a yard sign, review the applicable policy in the governing documents before installing it.
Sheds
No metal sheds.
Sheds must be at the rear of the house and painted to match the home. Roof material must match the house as well. Maximum size is 10 feet by 12 feet by 9 feet high.
Plans for all sheds or additions must be submitted to the HOA in writing and approved by the Architectural Control Committee before work is started.
