unresponsiveness from the resident, the HOA reserves the right to mow and/or edge the resident’s lawn and charge them for the services rendered. A flat $ 85 fee will be charged to the homeowner, regardless of whether the entire lawn will need maintenance, or if only edging (sidewalks, driveways, etc.) is required. The HOA has discretion as to which services are needed at the time of service.
For more information on the deed restrictions, please visit www.canyongate.com/residents/sg.
