Landscape Design

Within Diamond Ridge Estates you will find an atmosphere of natural beauty from its astonishing ridgeline views to the wild, unfettered central wildlife preserve. Our community is devoted to both preserving this natural beauty and enhancing it with our architectural designs and landscaping plans.

Our goals are simple - to help our residents develop landscaping plans that not only enhance the beauty of their home & property, but protects and blends with those elements that surround your neighborhood. Please note that all Landscape Plans must be submitted "prior to the initiation of any landscaping construction work", and must be approved in writing by the Landscape Design Committee before proceeding with the installation. Please refer to the following documents and the Approval Process below before proceeding with any landscaping work.

Please help us keep our community beautiful by working together to ensure we all do our part! Thank you in advance for your cooperation and assistance.

Approval Process

1. Pre-Design Meeting

   
   Whether starting landscaping at a new home or enhancing the landscaping at an existing home, the Landscape Design Committee is here to help you get through the process and on to your landscaping with as little effort as possible. For example, one or more of the members of the Landscape Design Committee will meet with you and your selected landscape designer and/or landscaper on your site for a preliminary meeting to informally discuss your initial thoughts about what you want to do and to help you understand how that might be done in conformance with the Landscape Design Standards and Procedures. This "pre"-design meeting is preferred and helps to assure the initial version of the actual Landscape Plan has the best chance for quick approval.
   
   

2. Preliminary Review

   
   Once you and your landscaper decide on your plan, the plan is submitted to the Landscape Design Committee for review and comment. Given an effective pre-design meeting, the plan may actually be approved with the initial submittal. If there are any issues, the committee will respond back to the homeowner with comments and will expect the homeowner to resubmit a revised plan or meet with one or more representatives of the committee to discuss any issues.
   
   

3. Final Approval

   
   Once all issues are resolved to the satisfaction of the committee, the final written approval is provided by the committee to the homeowner.
   
   

4. Landscape Installation

   
   Once final approval is received from the committee, landscape implementation may begin.
   
   

5. Compliance Check

   
   The Landscape Design Committee or their agent reserves the right to review the installed landscaping for compliance with the approved landscape plan and the Diamond Ridge Landscape Design Standards and Procedures. Any non-conformances will be documented to the homeowner for resolution.
