If you have Fairfax County Park Authority (FCPA) land behind your home and are concerned about a tree falling on your property, you can contact them at https://www.fairfaxcounty.gov/parks/tree-removal and the county will send out a tree inspector. If the tree needs to be removed, the county will coordinate the tree removal at no cost to the homeowner.

The lack of street lights has often been an issue throughout the history of our community.  The streets are county roadways and the county opted to not install street lights.  The HOA Board discussed options and recommended that homeowners install front light fixtures on either side of their garage doors in addition to the fixtures on either side of the front door.  An additional option was added to install a free-standing lantern; typically at the entrance to the path from the driveway to the front door.  The use of timers or dusk/dawn light bulbs can help to keep lighting throughout the night which can discourage intruders. If you are interested in installing more lighting on your property, please consult the ARB guidelines and submit an application for consideration.
