The ACC has established basic landscape standards to 1) establish uniformity within the neighborhood as originally established, 2) prevent overgrowth to neighboring properties/sidewalk unless shared and agreed to by neighbor(s) and 3) ensure that fully matured landscaping can be maintained.

Landscaping Standards:

• Front yard area (excluding concrete driveway) to be no less than 2/3 grass lawn

• Grass lawn area (excluding concrete driveway) shall extend to and along the sidewalk (or curb if now sidewalk). Shrub and/or trees may be placed on each end of the sidewalk

• New paths/walkways must be exposed concrete aggregate matching driveway or similar shade pavers

  • Note: Other materials such as flagstone are not allowed.

  • Note: When replacing concrete driveways, the surface appearance must be exposed aggregate. Smooth surface concrete will need to be replaced or have the surfaced modified at owner’s expense.

• Other:

  • Trees shall not exceed 20 feet in height when fully matured

    • Replacement trees requiring a city permit must meet city requirements

  • Trees and/or shrubs must not encroach on sidewalk or neighbors property when fully matured

  • Ground cover shall be maintained with bark or mulch

  • No visible tree stumps
