Residential Landscaping & the Drought
Community Enhancement Through Code Enforcement

Everyone is aware there's a drought and we're all being asked to conserve water.

With that said, the significant investment we have all made to beautify our landscaping and our homes, parks, businesses, etc. should continue to be maintained. The common standards of attractive and sustainable landscaping can be met regardless of whether or not there is a drought.

Parks & Landscape Division Spruces Up Subdivision Signs
