LANDSCAPE
The Landscape Review is for any new landscape proposed at an existing home or on a lot where a home is not constructed. The elements of a landscape review are: Scaled landscape drawing, plant materials list, review fee and builders bond. The landscape review is required when equipment is used for the install. Examples of equipment are graders, small and large loaders, pallet jack or lift. When equipment is not used the simple planting of plants and trees do not require ARB approval. All sod additions require review and approval.
LANDSCAPE DESIGN
The planting plan itself should sufficiently screen utility areas, visually break up the foundation of the building, buffer driveways and motor courts and provide cover for all areas disturbed during construction.
When designing landscape plans for the homes and sites at Keowee Falls South, property owners shall limit formal and ornamental landscaping to areas immediately adjacent to the home. Small intimate outdoor areas that are level and formal in feel should be designed and used with restraint. Sod is only encouraged in these controlled and captured areas close to the house and where used to channel surface water runoff.
The final landscape plan for new home construction is required to be submitted within 6 months of the start of the new home construction. For landscape improvements to existing homes an application with a landscape plan is required to be submitted for review by the Board prior to installation. Information on landscape design and style can be found in the Design Guidelines.
