The Village
John Cooper, Sr. founded the Village on June 1, 1970, and Wikipedia describes it as the largest gated community in the United States. It has eleven recreation lakes and nine golf courses, and the Garland County portion belongs to the Hot Springs metro area while the Saline County side is part of the Little Rock area.
Who sets the tree rules
The Village is governed by the Hot Springs Village Property Owners' Association, a private, tax-exempt association run by a general manager and a seven-member volunteer board. We haven't summarized its tree or lot-clearing rules; check with the POA before removing trees, and give the contractor any approval you receive.
With so much of the Village wooded, requests there can range from clearing a lot for a new house to a single dead pine or a row of stumps left before landscaping. See lot clearing and the pest guide.
Requests also come in from Lake Hamilton, Mountain Pine, Malvern, and from Hot Springs itself. See every area.
