Homeowners are not to remove or install any trees or shrubs without prior written authorization from the Board of Directors. Flowerbeds shall be limited to original non-sodded areas. Plantings must be installed in such a way so as not to interfere with the functions of any maintenance equipment used for the grass or common property.

Unit Owners shall be responsible for the care and maintenance of any annual planting (i.e. flowers) they install. The Board and/or contractor are not liable for Unit Owner's plantings. The Board must approve any plant material other than existing beds. Once approved changes are made, the Association is no longer responsible for the maintenance and replacement of the area.

Any sod or other common property damaged by a unit owner, their guest(s) or pet(s) shall be replaced at the expense of the unit owner who is responsible. Unit owners that have pets are responsible for removing excrement from common areas upon completion and replacing damaged areas to grass and/or plant material due to urine burnout. Unit owner(s) who suffer damage due to pets and can prove that they do not own or have had a pet visit to their unit and /or common areas, and cannot prove to which unit owner's pet caused the damage, may be waived of responsibility.

Plants or vines that cling or crawl or affix to any part of the unit building, including the garage, will not be allowed. No trellises are allowed.

Vegetable or fruit plants are permitted to be planted in post to be kept on patios or decks only. Homeowners are prohibited from planting vegetables or plants in the existing plant beds or anywhere on the common or limited common property.

All requests for landscaping issues, such as plant material replacement, etc. are to be submitted in writing to the management company on the Villa Veneto Request Form (Exhibit A)
