Community Association Standards
Homeowner and condominium associations can incorporate natural landscaping standards into the Covenants, Contracts, and Restrictions that govern the organization.
- The benefits are discussed in following Community Associations Institute article. “Greener landscape maintenance can benefit your community association” (PDF, 20KB)
- Community-wide Standards for Use in Covenants, Contracts, and Restrictions (PDF, 20KB) can be incorporated into homeowner association rules to promote healthy landscape practices.
- Community Manual from Issaquah Highlandssets out complete guidelines for homeowners on natural lawn and garden care and home maintenance. A briefer, illustrated guide is available in the Natural Yard Care brochure.
