Drought Tolerant Landscapes

Given the serious water shortage that currently prevails in our area and the new water charges being
implemented by the water company, the Architectural Control Committee have formulated the following
guide lines for the landscaping of our properties. Our intention is to give the HOA Membership as much
freedom as possible in the choice of landscape design while still retaining harmony referred to in our
CC&R’s.

The ACC are trying to avoid the bland landscaping that abounds in our neighboring communities and
hope that the guide will reaffirm the uniformity but give our members sufficiently wide choices to reflect
individuality we all desire.

The obvious starting point in being water wise is our lawns. Where homeowners wish to replace the
grass area this should be done using either ground coverings of rocks and stones that vary in size and
color and with selected medium/long bark as a contrast. Large boulders that can be used as a focal
point to the landscaping are also encouraged. However, where the choice of colored rocks and stones
is made we suggest earth tones such as terra cotta and advise against strong red colored stones that
are all too common in the surrounding communities. In addition the area of rocks or ground cover
should be broken up with plants and shrubs that can tolerate drought conditions, or with native and
Californian friendly plants. All areas of rock or stones should be delineated by a type of curbing or
block.

The associated photographs help to illustrate the type of landscaping that will be found acceptable to
the ACC.

A lot of helpful literature is available from our local water company EMWD and from the adjacent water
company WMWD. They both have well laid out demonstration gardens and informative web pages that
provide a lot if help and advice on plant choice and watering guide lines.

In conclusion, we remind all homeowners that notwithstanding the above guidance full Architectural
Control Committee approval is required for any changes to the landscaping.

The following internet sites are recommended:-
        www.emwd.org
        www.wmwd.com
        www.usewaterwisley.org
        www.bewaterwise.com

Please note architectural approval must be received in writing prior to the start of any work.
