Introduction
|
Queen’s Harbour Landscape Guidelines contain the minimum standard to assist the builder/contractor, homeowners and their designers in creating a landscape that blends with the house, the native flora and other existing properties within the community. These standards must be maintained over the life of the property.
The use of Florida Friendly Landscaping (FFL) guidelines, as defined by State of Florida Statute, is an effort to protect Florida’s unique natural resources by conserving water, reducing waste and pollution, avoiding the use of invasive plant species, preventing erosion and creating wildlife habitat. The FFL guidelines establish principles that include choosing the right plant for the right place, encouraging watering efficiently, fertilizing appropriately, managing yard pests responsibly, recycling waste, reducing storm water run-off and protecting waterfronts.
It is the intent of Queen’s Harbour to include these principles as they pertain to our unique ecosystem. These guidelines include a list of Recommended Plant Material that grow well in North Florida and are compatible with FFL principles.
It is the responsibility of the lot owner and their builder/contractor to install the landscaping according to the approved plans and specifications of the ARB Guidelines and any pertinent local and/or state requirements.
Every lot in Queen’s Harbour is unique and each landscape design will be reviewed based on those unique characteristics. The ARB reserves the right to require additional landscaping if deemed necessary. |
