The Woodlands covenants require proper maintenance of landscaping including lawns. At least 40% of front yard landscaped area must be trees, shrubs, flowers, or plants. Neglected lawns may trigger compliance notices.
The Woodlands Residential Development Standards require residents to maintain their properties in accordance with covenant standards. At least 40 percent of the landscaped area of the front yard must consist of trees, shrubbery, flowers, mulch, or plants. Native plants are encouraged. There is no specific grass height ordinance for The Woodlands (unlike city codes), but overgrown lawns that detract from community standards may result in covenant compliance notices. The Covenant Administration Department monitors property maintenance. Montgomery County code enforcement may also apply for extreme property neglect.
Covenant compliance notices for neglected landscaping. Civil enforcement for non-compliance.
