Key takeaways
- Read your guidelines before you design.
- Submit a drawing, dimensions and material samples.
- Include drainage and setbacks.
- Allow time for review.
Read the rules first
Your HOA's covenants and guidelines list allowed materials, colors, setbacks and sometimes maximum sizes. Check them before choosing a design, so you start in the right lane.
What to submit
Most boards want a scaled sketch with dimensions, locations relative to property lines and the house, material and color samples and photos of the area. A clear package shortens the review and avoids back-and-forth.
Plan for the timeline
Boards meet on a schedule, so approval can take weeks. Submit early and schedule the work after approval. Keep copies of everything you send and receive.

Quick answers
Can you prepare the HOA package?
Yes. Our design service produces scaled drawings and material samples that support your submission.
What if the HOA says no?
Ask what they would approve. A tweak to size, material or location often turns a no into a yes.
