Neighborhood Cleanup Suggestions

Neighborhood Cleanup Suggestions

The following observations are presented for your consideration to enhance the beauty, appeal, and property values of all of our homes:

- Storm drains: If you have a storm drain in front of your home, please help us all by keeping the drain free of debris.

- Keep shrubs/hedges neatly trimmed. For crime prevention (and appearance), recommend that shrubs and other landscaping not be allowed to obscure windows or entranceways.

- Pick up/remove sticks, leaves, and other yard debris. At the request of the Alabama Department of Transportation, please do not place these items in the ditch next to Hwy 119.

- If mold/mildew has started to grow on your siding or brickwork, please clean with a pressure washer or by some other effective means. Periodic pressure washing of driveways is also recommended.

- Please take ownership of the curb/street side in front of your property for purposes of edging and removing any grass that has grown in between the street and cement curb. If you need help with removing the grass, let one of the ORHA Officers know and we will help out. Also recommend that the curb be included the next time you decide to pressure wash your driveway.

- Repair/replace any damaged drivet/siding or decayed wood.

- Paint siding/trim as needed.

- Bury or remove any exposed drainpipes that can be seen from the street.

- Keep driveways free of temporary shelters, or discarded items such as wood, boxes, rubbish, and clutter. If you are in need of transportation to haul larger items to the Landfill, let one of the ORHA Officers know and we will help out.

- Pick up free publications, newspapers, and any other trash found in your yard or in the street in front of your home.

- Remove any discarded yard swings or yard furniture no longer in use.

- Repair/replace/clean mailboxes and posts as needed. For mail delivery and 911 emergency service, make sure your house number is clearly visible on your mailbox or near the front door.

- Please observe the Shelby County Leash Law for dogs.

- Please review the neighborhood covenants and check with the Architectural Committee prior to any major additions to your home, and prior to adding fences, or out buildings.
