The Las Colinas Association

History of Las Colinas

. . . . Ben possessed an exceptional intelligence, a powerful sense of fairness and a strong dislike of politics. He was headstrong but open minded, wanting - and almost always getting - things done his way. And he had an inordinate ability to manage details while maintaining a panoramic view: In building Las Colinas, Ben's eye fell on points as fine as the Urban Center's granite curbs and the quality of the patina on the surface of The Mustangs of Las Colinas.

Both John W. and Ben Carpenter saw the world not only as it was, but as it could be. For the younger Carpenter, the view encompassed the post-World War II boom and the coming of Dallas/Fort Worth International Airport.

His challenge was to take the resources he had and use them to create something of lasting value and benefit to the North Texas region and its people. The result is his legacy: Las Colinas. . . .

Mowing Specifications

Eight (8) field mowing cycles have been established by the Las Colinas Association. Adjoining public rights-of-way must be included.
Mowing height is not to exceed a maximum of six (6) inches.
Trimming must be provided around all items a minimum of twenty (20) feet back of street curbs and property lines adjacent to developed sites. Utility boxes further than twenty (20) feet away from the curb must be trimmed around.
Curbs must be edged – grass and dirt must be swept/blown out of the street.
Limbs, litter, and debris must be removed from the property.
Only those portions of field tracts containing active growth of spring wildflowers may remain unmowed. To avoid enforcement mowing, owners should notify the Association of their intentions.

Program Operation

The Las Colinas Association administers the annual field mowing program and defines adequate mowing maintenance of undeveloped lots and field condition expansion areas as adherence to the above specifications.

If mowing, trimming, and curb maintenance are not provided prior to each enforcement date, the Association will hire a contractor to perform the needed work at the owner's expense. (Ref.: Article VI, Las Colinas Declaration).
