CHECK
LANDSCAPING
AND LIGHTING
While community landscaping and lighting boost
the association's visual aesthetic, they also
play a role in back-to-school safety. Overgrown
trees and bushes can cover traffic signs and
obstruct a driver's view of the road. Likewise,
poor lighting can lead to hazardous conditions
for students walking to and from school or the
bus stop.
HOA board members can improve community
safety and visibility by confirming:
• Street lamps are working properly
• Bus stops are well-lit and clutter-free
• Tree branches and bushes do not cover
street signs
• Landscaping is neat and trimmed around
street corners
Plus, connect with homeowners to emphasize
the importance of yard maintenance. Everyone
can support student safety by maintaining
landscaping and making it easier for kids and
their parents to navigate the neighborhood.
