MAKING CHANGES TO YOUR LANDSCAPE OR THE OUTSIDE OF YOUR HOME?
Remember, changes to the landscape, adding plantings except for annuals, replacing roofs, installing fencing, adding a storm or screen door, etc. all require a CARB approval. If you’re planning any changes you can check out the CARB guidelines on this site. Also, the co-chairs of CARB, Stephanie Polackwich and David Diggs, welcome your questions. Correcting a violation is time consuming and frustrating for both CARB volunteers and homeowners. Let’s get it right the first time and avoid all that!!
Reporting Concerns…
Homeowners should report concerns regarding Courtyard matters, be they related to landscaping, maintenance, architectural review or any questions you may have by email to courtyardatredfields@gmail.com. Do Not expect a same day or next day response. Your response will be addressed within a week, as RPI is in the neighborhood at least three times per week to check things out.
