Rules apply to all landscaping visible from the street.

Lawns

· Lawns are to be kept relatively weed free.

Shrubs

· Shrubs are to be kept trimmed in a neat manner.

· Shrubs are to be kept pruned back from the street.

· Shrubs located on corner lots are to be kept trimmed in such a manner that they do not restrict the views of drivers within ten (10) feet of an intersection.

Planted Beds

Weeds

· Weeds 6” or more in height and that are easily visible from the street, living or dead, are to be removed.

· Front or side yards that are visible from the street that are left in a natural state or planted as an orchard are to be maintained in a neat and orderly manner. Weeds are to be kept mowed.

· Culverts along the street in the Orangevale side are to be kept weed free.

· Backyard areas that have not been landscaped are to be maintained according to local fire codes to mitigate the chances of a fire.

Trees

· All dead trees are to be removed.

· All dead limbs are to be removed.

· Fruit dropped from trees is to be removed weekly to preclude the harboring of unwanted insects as well as to preclude providing a food source for skunks, possums, raccoons and other wild life that exist in the area.

· Trees located on corner lots are to be kept trimmed in such a manner that they do not restrict the visibility of street signs or the views of drivers within ten (10) feet of an intersection.

Vacant Lots

· Any lot that is undeveloped is to be mowed by May 15 (weather permitting) to mitigate the chances of a fire. This protects neighboring houses and fences as well as any native trees on the property.

· The Association will contract with a service to mow any lot that has not been mowed prior to the weeds beginning to die back. The cost for this service will be billed to the owner of the property.
