Covering An Above Ground Pool
If the property has an above ground pool in good condition, built up with decking or other infrastructure that will support a pool cover, treat it as an in-ground pool. Above ground pools in poor condition or that cannot be secured in accordance with the guidelines herein, should be removed. If an above ground pool is removed, remediate any depression in the ground that might constitute a hazard.

Grass Cut Guidelines
I. Grass Cuts
Lawn cutting (initial and subsequent cuts) includes mowing the lawn, weeding, edge trimming, sweeping of all paved areas (sidewalks, driveways, patios, etc.), and removal of all lawn clippings, related cuttings, and incidental debris (newspapers, flyers, bottles, etc.). These services are included in the cost allowable for an initial cut and subsequent cut (re-cut). The disposal of all clippings and incidental debris should be in compliance with jurisdictional requirements.
A. Frequency
One initial grass cut is allowed during each grass-growing season followed by subsequent cuts periodically throughout the season. If a local variation requires that the grass be maintained year round, only one initial cut may be charged. If there is one grass-growing season in the geographical location of the property, one initial cut is allowed within a 12-month period. If there are multiple growing seasons, an initial grass cut is permitted at the beginning of each grass-growing season.
If conveyance occurs during the growing season, unless otherwise indicated in local variations, a final grass cut should be completed within two weeks of conveyance.
B. Oversized Yards
For yards greater than 15,000 square feet, Mortgagees should submit an over-allowable request. Requests to exceed cost limits for larger lots should be accompanied by lot dimensions and the calculated square footage of the lot as well as photo documentation. Mortgagees may request overallowable approval for an entire growing season. For each over-allowable request, the Mortgagee should provide one bid for the cost of the initial cut, one bid for each subsequent cut (all of equal cost) and the total number of subsequent cuts required. Even if the Mortgagee is approved for an entire season, HUD will only reimburse grass-cutting expenses actually incurred.
Grass should be cut to a maximum of two inches in length. Grass and weeds are to be cut to the edge of the property line and to a maximum of two inches. Grass and weeds are to be trimmed around foundations, bushes, trees, and planting beds. Grass and weeds should also be trimmed flush with fences and other construction that would normally require trimming.
Shrubs are to be trimmed and cuttings removed once in a growing season, between April 1st and October 31st. An over-allowable should be submitted for any subsequent trimming of shrubs during the same growing season, with appropriate before and after photographs.
