The City's Cul-de-Sac Maintenance Policy outlines responsibilities for the installation, maintenance, repair, and replacement of landscaping in community cul-de-sacs.

• Initial Installation: The City provides site preparation, irrigation, herbicide and fire ant treatment, mulch, three 15-gallon foxtail palms or one Christmas palm, and six approved shrubs.
• Plant Replacement: Homeowners may request replacement shrubs, mulch (once per year), and annual fertilizer (April or October). Shrubs and mulch are delivered for homeowner installation; City crews install replacement trees.
• Repairs: City crews may remove landscaping as needed for utility or roadway repairs. City-supplied trees, shrubs, and mulch will be replaced if necessary. Homeowner-installed landscaping and decorative items are not replaced or reimbursed.
• Abandoned Cul-de-Sacs: Cul-de-sacs that are not maintained or become overgrown may be cleared and mulched by the City.
• Other Maintenance: Upon request, the City will treat active fire ant mounds and spray weeds up to twice per year. Homeowner-installed landscaping and irrigation are the homeowner's responsibility. The City trims only Queen palms. Dead City-planted trees are cut at the base but not fully removed to avoid damaging irrigation.
