Landscape Criteria
The Gateway Greens Design Review Manual specifies minimum landscape
requirements. For a detailed review go to Design Review Manual found on
the Design Review Committee page. The minimum tree requirements are five
to nine canopy trees and four to nine sub-canopy trees depending on lot size.
Minimum height at planting for canopy trees is 12 feet high and 2 inch diameter.
Sub-canopy trees must be 5 feet high at planting. When in doubt
about how many trees your lot should have, simply maintain the same number of
trees originally installed by the builder. If you don't know how many
trees were originally installed, please contact the DRC and someone will help
you. Also, if you are replacing a dead or diseased tree with another tree
of the same size and at the same location, you do not need DRC approval.
To assist you in making a tree selection here is a list of approved Trees.
