• Pick up loose debris around your home
• Fix peeling paint
• Keep your yard/driveway free of clutter
• Keep your trash cans out of sight
• Install seasonal flowers and plants if lacking

Dear Auntie ACC Who has responsibility for maintaining the backyard fences??? ………….defenceless Dear concerned homeowner, Each 6 x 8 fence section has one or more horizontal supports. If that section is facing inside your yard, it is your responsibility to maintain. If you and your neighbor agree, it is possible to share the costs of repair/replacement of fencing section. Are we allowed to park in front of the mailbox??? ……concerned An excellent question The USPS will not deliver our mail if there is not clear access to the mailbox. Keep in mind also, many homeowners stop their cars at the mailbox to pick up their mail. Therefore, keeping this space open for the postman and residents would be most courteous.
