Guidelines for the Servicing of Private Gardens

General

Gardening service is carried out every two weeks on properties that are opted in.
We will endeavour to bring to the attention of the resident any work that may be necessary that is outside of the scope of service. The Association does not perform these additional works.
If a property has not been serviced by the Association for 60 days or more at the request of the owner, any additional work required to bring the property to standard is outside the scope of service.
At all times it is the owner’s responsibility to notify the Association when to reinstate service e.g. when construction is finished or the property transferred.
The owner should bring to the attention of the Association any vegetation that should be excluded from the service.
Service may be subject to delays due to weather conditions or other matters beyond the reasonable control of the Association.
If the scheduled service is missed due to an exclusion condition or inaccessibility, the property will be rescheduled for the following service cycle.

Lawns

To be maintained in a healthy, vigorous condition provided that they are free from disease and large concentrations of pests.
Height shall not exceed 6 (six) inches at any time and shall be mowed, edged and trimmed as required to maintain an even, well-groomed appearance.

Trimming

Trimming is carried out on all properties that are scheduled for gardening service (i.e. not opted out of gardening provided by the Association) on a monthly cycle. Trimming of all plant material up to 7′ in height is the responsibility of the Association together with palms and coconut trees of any height. Maintenance of any other plant material that exceeds the 7′ height limit, other than palm and coconut trees, is the responsibility of the owner.
Shrubs and vines shall be kept in a healthy, vigorous condition provided that they are free from disease and large concentrations of pests.
Shrubs overhanging curbs or sidewalks shall be pruned.

To be maintained in a healthy, vigorous growing condition provided that they are free from disease and large concentrations of pests.
