Landscaping Standards
As a homeowner it is your duty to maintain your lot in acceptable condition. In order to determine whether your lot is being properly maintained, you should ask yourself the following questions:
- Is the grass being cut on a regular basis (at least once every 6 - 10 days) during the growing season)?
- Does my mulching material appear fresh?
- Is my yard free of dead trees, shrubs, or stumps?
- Is my edging crisp? Are my beds weed free?
- When I cut my grass, am I collecting the clippings and blowing off my drive?
- Am I cleaning up the curb area in front of my yard?
- Is my grass free of bare spots? Have I made an effort at seeding dead spots during the last seed season?
- Am I watering (of course according to Newton County’s guidelines) any dry patches in my yard?
- Are my shrubs neatly pruned?
- Is my yard art tasteful? If I saw it in another neighbor’s yard, would I think it looked nice?
- Am I proud of my yard's appearance?
If you answered "NO" to any of these questions, chances are you are not maintaining your lot in an acceptable manner.
