Grass Curb Strip and Street Tree Maintenance
City of Sherwood Ordinances and the Homeowners Association require that lot owners who have a curb strip of grass and street trees running parallel to the sidewalk are expected to maintain that section of their property in a similar fashion to their lawn.
Original installation of the neighborhood by Centex Homes included the grass curb strips and street trees on many of the streets in the neighborhood. Any alterations to the grass and/or street trees require approval from the City of Sherwood Planning Dept and the Homeowners Association. Removal of the grass or trees will result in a CCR violation/fine from the HOA and penalties from the City.
If you wish to remove the grass curb strip or street trees, please contact the HOA and the City of Sherwood Planning Department.
