Boulevard Trees

BOULEVARD TREE GUIDANCE

On 1/19/23 the Board met and discussed the boulevard trees throughout the community. “Boulevard Trees” are the trees located between the sidewalk and the road within the neighborhood. The following has been determined:

  • Initial planting of boulevard trees will be in accordance with this policy, and accomplished by each builder.
  • Should a boulevard tree die, it is the responsibility of the homeowner associated with the section of sidewalk and road between which the tree is located, to replace the tree in accordance with this policy within 6 months.
  • Each year, the HOA will have the bed around the boulevard trees shovel cut and mulched in accordance with this policy.
  • Each year, the HOA will trim boulevard trees as necessary. Necessity will be determined by the Grounds Committee. If you are aware of a boulevard tree in need of trimming, please use the contact form under Grounds Committee on the HOA website (iaphoa.com).
