The stone or gravel area shall not be contiguous, but broken up with landscape planting areas in accordance with current neighborhood aesthetics. The stone or gravel shall be installed in a manner that presents a finished appearance with the material fully contained with non-flexible borders. The rock or gravel areas shall be free of weeds and debris (trash) on an on-going basis. In accordance with article V, section 5.3 of the Declaration, a written request for landscape alteration is required, to be approved by the committee, before such work may begin.
