PCVA Requires White Lighting

2/1/2023

 
Per the PCVA Community Guidelines - all exterior bulbs must be white in color.

2.13 LIGHTING
Exterior light fixtures attached to the home must be enclosed in fixtures and match the decor of the home. No
bare light bulbs allowed. All bulbs (including for those items listed below) must be white in color (LEDs are
acceptable).

​Decorative string lighting (e.g., bistro lighting, rope lighting, etc.) that is made for enhancing the home’s
appearance must be approved by the MC via a DRR. String lighting is prohibited along the entire house or on
eaves, fencing, walls, or railings. Lighting must be fully contained within a porch, patio, courtyard, or deck
area, and may not extend into the yard or beyond the confines of the porch, patio, courtyard or deck area. It
must be limited to small outdoor living areas. Lighting must be turned off when not in use (e.g., when not
entertaining) to avoid light pollution for the neighbors. See Section 4.16 for additional information.

Path lighting is allowed with low-voltage or solar options. These must be spaced evenly along paths or
driveways to give a consistent look.

Winter Watering Tips

1/31/2023

 
 Even though landscape plants are dormant and brown, they should be watered periodically.
When to water 
  • Water one to two times per month from November to April. 
  • Choose a warm winter day with air temperature above 40 degrees and unfrozen soil. 
What to water 
  • It is most important to water newly planted lawns, trees, shrubs and flowers. 
  • Established lawn areas and trees, especially those in sunny, windy, or exposed areas should also be a high priority. 
  • Do not winter water cacti, succulents, buffalograss, blue grama and very xeriscape plants. 
How to water 
  • Use a hose-end sprinkler or watering wand. Set a timer so you don't overwater.
  • Remove the hose from the spigot after watering to prevent freeze damage. 
  • Water slowly so it can soak in.
