Refer to the 2024 PBEPOA Grass Cutting Map: Grass cutting map OCt 2024

This photo of the grass cutting map is not very clear, however, it does show the layout of (1) the areas that are cut every other week during grass cutting season and (2) the area that is cut three times a year.

Blue Zones

The BLUE ZONES are cut every other week by mowing and weed whacking.  The BLUE ZONE areas are:

  1. Drainage ditches along Newman’s Neck Road, Potomac Drive, and Presley Drive; the area around the entrance to the neighborhood;
  2. The PBE sign area;
  3. The 1/2 acre area around the native wildflower garden;
  4. The Presley Creek boat ramp area;
  5. The picnic area, Potomac River Pier, common area;
  6. The community wells and water system lot;
  7. A buffer area between lots 39 and 40, and, community septic fields.
Red Zone

The RED ZONE is cut three times a year:

  • BEFORE April 15 and AFTER August 15. The April 15 and August 15 dates were chosen because they coincide with the start and end of nesting and breeding season for the Eastern Meadowlark and Northern Quail (Bob-White Quail) that nest in the tall grass.
  • In November.  

Homeowners’ lots

If unimproved lots are not cut by the owners to meet the requirement to keep grass cut to 12 inches in height, the Association will contracts with a local lawn service to cut the lot.  The Association pays for the cutting and bills the lot owner.
