Steps to Yard Recognition
To receive Florida Yard & Neighborhoods recognition, your landscape:
- Must be free of invasive exotic plants.
- Meets the standards of the community in which they are located.
- Should be attractive to the general public. Part of the Florida Yards & Neighborhoods program is to promote responsible landscape and irrigation design, installation and management. This is best accomplished through attractive landscapes which would be found acceptable to your neighbors.
- Should not be sprayed with pesticides or herbicides on a preventative basis.
- Irrigated lawns should be minimized as much as possible within deed restrictions.
