Homeowners responsible for landscape, yard maintenance

The Eden Shores HOA strictly enforces homeowners responsibility for the proper maintenance and upkeep of their front lawns and trees. Lawns must be mowed, watered, and fertilized on a regular basis. Trees, shrubs, or bushes that are dying or not thriving must be replaced.

Homeowners have the option to substitute their grass lawns with other material to cope with draught requirements provided they seek HOA approval for the substitutions.

The HOA Landscape Committee periodically walks/drives through the community inspecting front and side yards. Violation notices are sent to homeowners whose yards and trees are improperly maintained; fines are imposed and remedial measures taken at the expense of nonconforming homeowners.

For advice on the proper maintenance of yards, lawns and trees, contact the HOA manager at the HOA management company.

Proper maintenance helps improve home values in any community.

What to do with the ‘feral’ cats that abound in Eden Shores

Because feral cats multiply very quickly, their population tends to be uncontrollable. Public policy is to trap or capture stray or feral cats and have them neutered or spayed and then returned to their habitat.

Cat traps can be purchased at most stores, including Home Depot and Walmart.

Once captured, the cat(s) should be taken to the Hayward Animal Shelter. The shelter is located on 16 Barnes Court, Hayward. Their phone number is (510) 293-7200.
