What are Polo Run Lakewood Ranch's HOA landscaping requirements?

Polo Run at Lakewood Ranch is governed under the Lakewood Ranch master HOA with a community-specific ARC. All exterior landscape modifications require ARC approval, including sod, irrigation, fence, pavers, and significant planting. Polo Run has notable conservation area buffer restrictions — any landscaping within conservation easement setbacks is strictly regulated, particularly for fence installation and irrigation head placement. SunWest reviews Polo Run CC&Rs and conservation easement boundaries before any project design.

What makes Polo Run different from other Lakewood Ranch villages for landscaping?

Polo Run is known for its conservation and natural area views — many lots back to conservation land or lake edges. This creates specific landscape requirements: conservation buffer setbacks affect fence placement, drip irrigation is strongly preferred in bed areas adjacent to conservation zones to minimize water intrusion into preserved areas, and plant selections near conservation boundaries should favor native or low-invasive species per the HOA-adjacent conservation easement terms.

Can I install a fence at Polo Run with a conservation view lot?

Yes, but with important setback considerations. Polo Run conservation view lots have HOA-specified setback distances from the conservation boundary — typically 5–15 feet depending on the specific easement type. Fence must terminate at or before this setback line. In some Polo Run lots, the conservation easement also restricts fence height and material. SunWest reviews the specific lot survey, easement documentation, and Polo Run HOA fence policy before design to ensure what we propose will pass ARC on the first submission.

What irrigation system is right for Polo Run?

Polo Run's sandy upland soils require short-cycle frequent irrigation programming. Smart controllers (Rachio 3 or Hunter Hydrawise) with Manatee County SWFWMD schedule pre-programming are standard. For lots adjacent to conservation areas, drip irrigation in back bed zones reduces the risk of water intrusion into conservation land and is often the system design preferred by the Polo Run ARC. Reclaimed water is available in Polo Run phases — SunWest checks eligibility during assessment.
