This requirement is to be sure the stones are laid in a proper fashion on weed deterrent fabric, so the stones are held in a proper border and the stones are in the proper location.
Lawns must be cut regularly, curb lines in front of your home must be weed free, and homes must be painted and maintained.
Trash is not to be placed at the curb sooner than 24 hours before your pick up day, and the empty cans must be picked up and stored from view within 12 hours after pick up.
The Borough has a leash law and has adopted the pooper scooper law regarding the walking of your pets, and cleaning up after them.
