Homeowners
are responsible for preventing erosion until turf is established and approved.
Sod
and landscaping materials must be at least 6 inches below your homes siding. |

Up to 45 days after the property closing date:
The homeowner should check with the builder to make sure an as-built survey
(for a detailed description, click on link) has
been submitted to the City for approval. Sod, irrigation systems, and landscape materials may not be
installed until the as-built survey has been approved. This typically takes two weeks from the time
it is submitted to the City.
Up to 70 days after the as-built survey has been approved:
Once the as-built survey has been approved, you may begin installing trees and establishing acceptable ground cover.
Acceptable ground cover includes sod, turf seed, mulch and/or rock landscaped areas and native grasses. Call the
City Engineering Division at 952-882-2671 if you have questions about acceptable ground covers. Ground cover and landscaping
must be established within 70 days from the date the as-built survey was approved. Exceptions are allowed
during the winter season.
