Nestled on a sprawling six acres and surrounded by snow-capped mountain views, The Imperial is believed to be one of the finest townhome communities in South Surrey or at least on Mountain View Drive.
Imperial's landscaping is managed by Smiler Landscaping, but there are still some responsibilities for residents.
Watering
Parts of the property are serviced by a sprinkler system, but individual yards and areas between driveways are not. In order to keep the trees and other plants healthy, please ensure you are watering during the hotter and dryer times of the year.
Yard Maintenance
Smiler Landscaping services the properties on Tuesdays. Please ensure your yard is clear of any objects and that in the case you have a dog, any and all feces is cleaned up. Smiler Landscaping will not service yards that haven't been prepared for their arrival.
