HOA-Friendly Backyard Planning

Review your current community documents before construction. Keep product samples, dimensions, colors and a simple plan together so an architectural request is easier to evaluate.

Before requesting bids

1. Write down the intended use and must-have features.
2. Photograph access points, walls, doors and existing utilities.
3. Ask bidders to describe scope, exclusions, timing and warranty in writing.
4. Verify licensing and insurance when required for the work.
