We almost had a problem. We contracted for about $9,000 in Landscaping and the day before they were to start someone mentioned the "Architectural Board" and the need for approval. I mentioned it to the Landscaper and they said don't worry about it..we will get it after were done. I told them no way
I wanted to be sure it would be approved BEFORE they started and told them to forget the next day until I received approval. I pulled the layout of our property, went to the Board with the landscapers layout plans and they approved and we said OK go ahead. It would have been easy to say OK I trust the landscaper and then have to change or remove. I like what Pres. Regan use to say "verify"!!
