Spring Up, Spruce Up!
Hedingham has re‐
cently adopted new policies regarding viola on fines that occur when home‐
owners fail to cor‐
rect a condi on that violates our cove‐
nants and rules. Vio‐
la ons include, for example, failure to keep a yard mowed, parking on the grass or other prohibited loca on, or failure to maintain the ex‐
terior of a home to name a few. Each violator is offered an opportunity to come to a hearing about their situa on, and per occurrence viola on fines are $5 and up. Once unpaid fines total $500, the ma er will be referred to an a orney to file a lien on the property. As a last resort, judicial fore‐
closure could result from unpaid viola on fines. As lawns awaken for the growing season and the landscape turns green, it is important to maintain your yard on a regular basis. Fer lize fescue grass before March 15, and apply a pre‐emergent to pre‐
vent weeds Leave clippings on the lawn, as they will quickly disintegrate and provide a natural lawn food. Please visit www.turffiles.ncsu.edu for advice for lawns in this area. Know the
Rules
