Homeowner Responsibilities:
Water your grass, trees and shrubs as needed. In Phase 1, you must water the grass eyebrows beside the driveway—irrigation does not reach them. Please be aware that should these areas die, Briar Chapel will require the homeowner to restore.
A foundation screen of shrubbery is required for all Briar Chapel homes (Encore is subject to both Briar Chapel and Encore rules). If a tree dies, you must replace it. If you want to remove shrubs or trees, you will need to get approval from Briar Chapel, which is done by submitting a Design Review Request located on the Briar Chapel Life website.
All non-native, invasive species are banned. These are listed in the Briar Chapel Covenants.
David Mirkovich of our Landscape Committee can assist residents with tree change (he has lists of recommended trees with less invasive root systems, for example) and other applications.
