This was told to me by the builder. I know you have to have the yard seeded in order to close on your home lawn. I did not think this was required for the city to pass the final home inspection. Please help!!

it is part of many building codes, so you should just take the word of your local building official. Loose dirt is too welcoming for termites and creates a hazard for runoff, blowing dust, etc... so even though it just seems like an aesthetic thing, it's actually a necessity for safety and structural soundness, which is why it's included under the auspices of building inspection.

In most larger cities, on new construction, before the home can be issued occupancy the yard must be seeded or at very least have straw in place. most times this is only required for the front yard

specific! We did no longer and had a clean domicile and have been naive some couple of subjects we concept could on no account arise. After a pair of years, the siding all started warping. The verbiage interior the settlement did no longer handle the form of backyard seeding and our a million.5 acre materials ended up a weed-mattress because of negligence of the builder in no longer seeding perfect. they actually did no longer positioned down any topsoil and the seed become no longer screened. We had no different themes, yet those 2 have been super themes! We settled for below what ought to have been performed - the siding and backyard ought to all have been redone in finished. So, specific, be careful of contractual language additionally in the event that they do any backyard installations!

Not here where I live. The inspector checks the construction not the yard. Most people here close on a new home without seeded yard or landscaping also.

It would be helpful if you asked someone who works for the city, home inspectors do not work with the seller in mind but the builders and the buyers. For curb appeal, it might be nice but not necessary, by all means contact the city where you live about such regulations, if they exist at all, builders are not the pros about these things.

That is absurd. Have you ever seen a house without a lawn? What about zero-scape properties?
