Planting and Landscaping Guidelines On ALA Properties

All proposed landscaping and irrigation requires an application to be submitted to the ALA for review and approval.

No trees shall be removed from ALA Properties without permission by ALA. In addition, all tree trimming must be approved by ALA staff and all slash must be removed immediately. For more information contact Laura Dyberg, Property Manager, 909-337-2595 x103 or email at LDyberg@ala-ca.org.

• Homeowners may plant trees and plants of native species only,
• Temporary bubbler systems to establish trees are the only permitted irrigation,
• No irrigation by adjacent owners is permitted on ALA property pursuant to LACSD Ordinance 69 as adopted 2008-06-10,
• No new ground cover is to be planted on ALA property in consideration of water conservation,
• Distance between trees is approximately sixteen (16) to twenty (20) feet and no closer than ten (10) feet to a structure or power line,
• A scaled plot plan of proposed planting must be submitted to ALA for approval. No fee is required for this permit.
• Erosion control should be dealt with using wood chips or pine needles, or other natural materials.
• Duff (pine needles and leafs) should be removed to a thickness of between one and two inches. More is a hazard and less promotes erosion.
• No electrical wiring or lights are allowed in trees. All electrical work must be permitted.
