[Archived] The City of Alexandria is Updating the Landscape Guidelines - Provide Your Comments

For Immediate Release: October 19, 2018

The City is seeking input from residents and the business community on the draft 2018 Landscape Guidelines Update. The draft is currently posted on the 2018 Landscape Guidelines Update website  and open for public review and comment through Friday, November 16, 2018. 

The City of Alexandria’s 2018 Landscape Guidelines Update revises the City’s approved landscape standards to include current industry standards, best practices, and terminology. The update also aligns the standards with City policies and plans approved since 2007 when the Landscape Guidelines were last revised.  

The Landscape Guidelines establish minimum standards for landscape plan development, installation, protection, and maintenance. The document is primarily intended for property owners, developers and applicants seeking approvals from the City.
