You have the perfect vision for your yard, but your local HOA may place restrictions on what type of landscaping can be installed in your neighborhood. Before your landscape dreams are dashed, it’s important to check with your local HOA and design around their regulations. Here are some tips for landscaping in a community with an HOA.
Consult Your HOA
The first step, of course, is to check with your HOA. Before you begin collecting ideas for your landscaping, it’s a good idea to know what you’re working with. It won’t do you any good to spend hours researching trees, only to find out that you can’t plant them because of local restrictions. Your HOA should be more than happy to give you information regarding its landscaping rules.
Know What Is and Isn’t Your Responsibility
When it comes to HOAs, there are several areas that can be confusing. For example, some homeowners may think it’s the HOA’s responsibility to maintain part of their yard, when it actually falls on them. Before you spend time and money on landscaping, be sure to communicate with your HOA to see what you personally will have to maintain.
