FAQ / Plants: Can I trim the plants in the common area behind my back wall to improve my view?

a) No, homeowners may not trim plants in the common area, but Cherry Landscape can do it for you.  Cherry Landscape is the only agent authorized by the Board to trim vegetation in common areas.

b) If you wish to have Cherry Landscape trim the vegetation in the common area, directly behind your rear patio wall, (at homeowners expense), you need first to set up a consultation with a designated member of the Landscape Committee.  See Tree Trimming Procedure and Forms for a description of the procedure and forms to begin.  See Tree Thinning/Trimming in SMVE for details on Board policy on trimming in the common area and for a description of the one limited circumstance under which a homeowner may trim certain vegetation.
