Homeowner Property Maintenance
It’s time for seasonal home maintenance
Regular property and grounds maintenance helps preserve the value of your property and that of your neighbors. Fall is a great time to have your trees trimmed, tidy up overgrown or dead shrubbery and flowerbeds, tend to lawn health and prepare for winter.
The Deed Restrictions require that the all lots (in their entirity) and all structures upon them shall be maintained in a sanitary and attractive manner by the owner(s). Landscaping must be kept in a neat and tidy condition. Lots shall not be used for storage of materials and/or equipment for other than normal residential requirements.
Review your property and make sure it meets the Property Maintenance Guidelines HERE
Pets must be controlled on leashes when not securely restrained on your property. This is in accordance with Harris County Leash Laws

Collection days:
Tuesday & Friday
We have “Backdoor Service” which means our trash and recycling (Fridays) cans should be visible ONLY on collection days and remain at our backdoor / garage / gate area.
Waste should be ready for collection by 7 AM
Best Trash Collection Guidelines
Regular household waste must be securely bagged and placed in your own waste can as per guidelines.
Yard waste should be placed at the curb as per guidelines (not on the street) and no earlier than the evening before collection days.
Recycling collection day is Friday – clean items as per guidelines HERE
If dirty or general waste is mixed with the recycling it will not be collected.
Yard & Bulk collection – items as per GUIDELINES, should be placed at the curb on collection days. No construction debris will be collected.
If you use a lawn care service, ensure that they do not leave your yard waste at the curb unless it will be collected that same day. Please also ensure that waste is not blown into the street where it can block street drainage. The only thing that should enter street drains is water. Read about Storm Drain Smarts
NOTE: The deed restrictions require that – “All yard equipment, woodpiles, storage piles, and trash containers shall be screened from public view. No lot shall be used for the storage of materials for more than normal household use.”
Thank you for keeping Champion Forest tidy!

Monarch Landscape Management:
New entrance beds have been installed along with fall seasonal color. Mulching and fertilization has been applied and the mowing and irrigation schedule has adjusted for the winter season.
Community Entrances & Esplanades:
Our entrance monuments have been cleaned. The lettering on them has been repaired and repainted.
The Board is trialing lighting enhancements to our entrances.
Wall Care:
Proposals are being sought for needed repairs.
If you live along a community property wall, and notice an issue, please send an email report through the Board contact form on the website.
We need every resident who has the direct benefit of our brick walls to care for the walls by keeping their trees and foliage from growing against and over the walls. These practices will help us protect and prolong the life of our walls and prevent avoidable damage to these valuable community assets.
Be aware; owners are responsible for their and their guests and tenants damage to the Association’s common property.
