If you have converted your driveway to a hardscape please remember that weeds are your responsibility.
Driveways are homeowner property (part of the residential unit). The HOA has an easement and an obligation to maintain the grass in the driveway strips. Once a driveway is converted to a hardscape, an HOA landscaper legally cannot touch it.
- Make sure the hardscape is installed properly (a layer of DG (decomposed granite) on top of a weed barrier underneath the decorative top.
- Periodically remove accumulating organic debris from between the rocks. Decomposing leaves are excellent organic matter for weeds to grow in.
- Pull the weeds manually (great weekend workout!) or apply a weed killer.
- Have your private backyard landscaper remove the weeds.
Thank you for helping to keep Mendocino beautiful!
