Any HOA knows the value of curb appeal. Attractive landscaping is the first thing prospective buyers or renters will notice when they tour your area. It can also greatly increase the value of your neighborhood. Unsure how to bring your landscaping to the next level? Here are some handy tips for HOAs.
Communication Is Key
To maintain homogenous landscaping throughout your neighborhood that doesn’t clash, it’s important to regularly communicate with your residents. You should also frequently check in with landscapers, contractors, and any other laborers that affect the outdoor appearance of the neighborhood. Keeping everyone on the same page will lead to less confusion regarding your landscaping and keep residents from making unsightly changes.
Invest in Preventative Landscaping
An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure. This is especially true when it comes to landscaping. Sticking to a pruning schedule will keep tree branches from breaking windows, while regular maintenance on your irrigation system will keep your lawns hydrated and verdant. Preventative landscaping also comes with the added benefit of saving money on emergency services, which can eat up a large chunk of an HOA budget.
Stay Native
When choosing plants, trees, and grasses for landscaping, it’s a good idea to choose specimens native to Arizona. Upkeep for foreign species is much more expensive, which can be a huge concern for HOAs. Heat-tolerant plants like cacti and desert sage will thrive in the Arizona heat and require less maintenance. An added benefit? Because native plants require fewer resources, they’re also the more sustainable option.
