Lawn Care Revisited

The subject of lawn care has already been covered in a previous post.  However, it seems a review of expectations is necessary.  These maintenance items will keep the neighborhood looking beautiful:

• Lawns should be regularly watered (within drought restrictions), mowed, and edged. 
• Bushes and trees should be trimmed. 
• Kill and remove any weeds from lawn, mulch / river rock beds, in cracks of driveways, sidewalks, curbs, and streets. 
• Treat ant mounts. 
• Finish by sweeping or blowing leaves, grass clippings, etc. 

All homeowners agreed to abide by the CCRs when they purchased a house in The Mesas.  Note that the covenants REQUIRE the following:

Section 4.5.2 Lot and Lawns and Plantings. Lawns, front and back, must be mowed at regular intervals (maintained at less than SIX inches in height).

Section 4.6.1 Duty of Maintenance. Such maintenance shall include, but is not limited to, the following:

• Prompt removal of all litter, trash, refuse, and wastes
  
• Lawn mowing
  
• Tree and shrub pruning
  
• Watering
  
• Keeping lawn and garden areas alive, free of weeds, and attractive
  

Section 4.6.2 Maintenance of Yards, Etc. Owners shall at all times keep weeds, grass, shrubbery and trees thereon cut in a sanitary, healthful, and attractive manner.
