David does residential tree work of every kind: small pruning jobs, fruit tree care, risk mitigation trimming, and full removals, including crane jobs when a tree calls for it. He got into this work because he loves it. Big removals are satisfying because they're straightforward, and pruning is his favorite kind of investment, a little brainwork now for a healthier, better-looking tree for years to come.
When you want it done right!
Dave was really relaxed and easy to work with. We weren’t sure what the best option was to remove and replace a large tree in our front yard. He explained our options very well and didn’t apply any pressure, which was different from experiences we had with other tree services. He did a great job taking down our tree and then spent the rest of the day trimming the rest of our trees all for a very reasonable price. Then he and his crew stayed until after dark cleaning up and left our yard spotless. They treated our property very well and were fun to chat with as we watched them work. Having used several tree services in the past he was easily the best. - David S

JPNA Inc. (HOA) Owners vs Renters
Homeowners are automatic members of a Homeowners Association (HOA) with financial duties, whereas renters have no direct relationship with the HOA and must interact with the association through their landlord.
Financial Responsibilities
- Owners: Pay annual HOA fees directly to the association. Landlords are legally responsible for these payments even if a tenant lives on the property.
- Renters: Do not pay the HOA directly. Landlords often factor these costs into the monthly rent amount.
Rules and Compliance
- Owners: Must follow all Covenants, Conditions, and Restrictions (CC&Rs) and are directly liable for any fines or violations.
- Renters: Must also follow community rules (such as parking, pet policies, and noise limits), but violations usually result in fines directed to the owner/landlord rather than the tenant directly.
Key Responsibilities and Rules
In an HOA community, the property owner is legally responsible for paying any HOA fines or penalties caused by a neglected lawn, even if a renter lives in the home.
- HOA Enforcement: Homeowners associations interact only with the property owner, not the tenant. If the grass grows too high or weeds take over, the HOA fines the owner.
- Lease Agreements: While the tenant can agree in their lease to mow, weed, or water the yard, that private contract does not change the owner's legal obligation to the HOA.
- Risk Management: Many landlords with HOA properties prefer to hire professional lawn services and build the cost into the rent to prevent expensive compliance violations.
Best Practices for Owners and Renters
- Spell It Out: The lease must explicitly state who handles mowing, edging, watering, and weed control.
- Pass-Through Clauses: Owners should include a lease clause stating that tenants must pay for any HOA fines triggered by their yard neglect.
- Regular Inspections: Landlords should perform periodic property checks to ensure renters are keeping pace with strict neighborhood guidelines.

The JPNA Board recommends Owners that rent in our HOA hire a Full-Service Lawn Care, like Mario's Lawncare mentioned above or contact Watkins Carter for a good Lawn Care Service or any other property maintenance service you may need.
Self-Service Lawn Care
A self-service lawn care agreement means the tenant is responsible for all aspects of lawn care, i.e. mowing, fertilizing, watering, weeding, and any other care or maintenance needed. The advantage to this scenario is you, the landlord, don’t have to deal with it. The downside comes if or when the tenant either neglects the lawn completely or doesn’t care for the lawn as agreed to. Penalties and fines will be imposed on the property owner from your HOA in these cases.
Full-Service Lawn Care
A Full-Service lawn care agreement is when the property owner takes all the responsibility of lawn care. In climates where there is frequent snow, snow removal is sometimes included in this scenario. Usually, the landlord hires out a lawn care service to care for and maintain the lawn. The advantage, of course, is having a professionally licensed company responsible for your lawn. The downside, if any, would be the additional cost of the service however, property owners include this added fee into the rent.
A-La-Carte Agreement
An a-la-carte agreement is a “middle of the road” type of agreement made between the property owner or property manager and the tenant. For example, the property owner may be willing to fertilize the lawn and the tenant waters the lawn adequately and the tenant is required to only weed, mow and water the lawn. This arrangement can be very beneficial to both because only a portion of the responsibility is on either party.
In our experience, the first step is to decide on what works best for you, the property owner, but try to be flexible. Weigh the pros and cons, check your local laws and regulations surrounding your home, perform proper tenant screenings, discuss the options and no matter what you and your tenant decide upon, make sure your agreement is in writing, preferably in your rental agreement. Should you need professional assistance with any aspect of your rental property, Watkins Carter can help you.
