Maybe not all changes but it is better to be on the safe side and get approval.

Who in TV has to be notified when changes are planned?
Architectural Review.

Does the landscaper handle the permitting?
Depends on the Landscaper.

Do most changes get approval?
Mine have with one exception and that was a tree, not palm, removal. I failed to tell them the tree was diseased. On the second try I submitted photos and approval was given.

We'd like to have a couple of palms incorporated in our plantings. An oak will probably have to be removed. Is removing a tree and replacing it with another a no-no?
Again, it is best to get approval. I cannot imagine them turning you down.

I know I've asked a lot of questions...it's confusing out there especially for a barely part-timer.
Thanks,
Phil and Pat
Make sure to get all underground utilities marked prior to digging.

BTW, it is just as confusing to some of us full timers. So, if you are still have questions just fire away.
