The primary role of the committee is to make improvements or additions to landscaping beds throughout Lake Caroline. Initially, the developer of a community installs landscaping beds. Once the homes are sold, the developer transitions responsibility for the beds to our homeowner association. At this point LCOA is responsible for updating beds, as needed. 

 

Exception:  Bed maintenance is managed by LCOA staff who oversee the vendors contracted to perform the work.
