Every new Ideal home comes with a fully fenced and sodded yard. (Yard options may vary in Dow’s Hills.) The most important thing when moving in is to water your yard, trees and shrubs to keep them alive. Newly planted sod, trees, and plants need more water than usual.
It is also important for you to keep your sod mowed regularly to maintain it between one-half inch and 1.5” for the health of the grass. Letting your grass grow more than a week during summer months before mowing is hard on new yards and may significantly slow how efficiently the sod establishes.
Here are the most important things to know about caring for your yard and landscaping.
Watering
Never allow your new turf to dry out! Plan a daily watering schedule until the sod is well established. It’s only necessary to keep the top 1-2 inches moist. As the turf takes root, you can water more deeply and less frequently.
Mowing
Begin mowing when the turf reaches the recommended cutting height (0.5” to 1.5”). Mowing your yard regularly at the recommended height helps your new turf root and spread. When you mow, leave the clippings on the yard as mulch, but keep them off the driveway and sidewalks. In the fall, you should set your mower higher to help your new grass insulate against low temperatures.
Fertilizer and Weed Control
Ideal applied a fertilizer when your sod was installed. Do not re-apply fertilizer until your yard has been mowed at least four or five times! Re-apply every 45 days during growing season. Bermudagrass will thrive if it’s fertilized at a rate of approximately one half pound of nitrogen per 1,000 square feet.
TIP: You might want to consider contracting with a lawn care company to take care of your weed control and fertilizing needs.
You should avoid all weed control products until you’ve mowed six times. If you find weeds in some of the small areas of your new lawn, just pull those by hand. Only use herbicides on your new lawn if weeds threaten to choke out your turf.
Trees and Shrubs
Always water new plant materials when you plant them. Follow watering instructions on the plant tag.
TIP: Loosely tie the plant tag to the plant to remind you of specific water and feeding requirements.
TIP: Give new plants an inch of water per week (including rain).
Watering guidelines
Do not water until plants show signs of light wilting. Apply water slowly to allow it to soak into the soil to a depth of 12 inches. Do not overwater. Mulch plants whenever possible.
TIP: A TreeGator bag watering tool can help. It holds 20 gallons of water and drips water out right where you need it over a 4-hour period.
In the winter, you should water whenever temps rise above freezing. Mulching reduces the need for winter watering.
How do I tell if a plant has been under- or overwatered?
Under-watered plants have crunchy leaves and dead foliage from the top down. It’s important to catch it early. The solution is to water (but not overwater) as most plants will recover nicely.
Over-watered plants, on the other hand, show yellow, moist leaves starting in the lower part of the plant. Pull mulch away from tree trunk and stop watering to let it dry out.

- Check interior caulking
Here are some tips that may help you resolve problems in your home. If you still can’t resolve the issue, please feel free to give us a call and we will be happy to help.
Loss of Power
If the power is off in part of your home, check all GFCI outlets throughout the home (especially bathroom outlets). Push reset if any are tripped. Then check all breaker switches in the breaker panel in the garage. Any switches flipped to the middle position will need to be reset by turning the switch off (toward the outside), and then switched back on. If the power doesn’t reset, there may be a power outage. In this case, call your electric company.
Important: Some electrical codes require the kitchen refrigeration to be on a dedicated circuit which will need to be reset at the breaker box. Food spoilage can occur if tripped.
Heat and Air Outage
Check all breakers (Fan and AC/Heater) to see if any are tripped. Reset if necessary by following the steps above. If this doesn’t resolve, check quick disconnect outside at the condenser unit (gray box.) Open the panel and make sure the word “on” can be read right side up, and ensure it is pushed in. Turn the thermostat to the off position. Press the reset button (a small button on the front cover). Then turn the thermostat back on.
Jetted Tub
If jets don’t come on, check the GFCI outlets in the bathroom to see if any are tripped. Reset if necessary. If this doesn’t resolve the issue, look for another GFCI outlet either in the master bedroom closet or possibly in the toilet area, and reset the outlets if tripped. If still having problems, open the panel below the tub, being careful not to break any clips. Make sure the plug is firmly pushed into the outlet. Make sure all jets are open by turning the outer ring at the jet to the left or on some models a separate ring on the top edge of the tub.
Smoke/Carbon Monoxide Detectors
If the green light is blinking continuously, reset it by pressing the middle button for three seconds. All units should sound alerts for about 30 seconds. The green light should then be solid. If the unit malfunctions, replace the 9-volt battery with a fresh battery (Duracell or Energizer). To change the battery slide out the battery cover. For some models, twist to release from the base on the ceiling, unplug by squeezing plastic prongs, and lift the battery door. Important: Make sure the battery is installed the correct way. Tip: When turning on the heater for the first time in the fall, open the windows and turn on the exhaust fans to vent fumes. This will prevent the detectors from accidentally sounding. Change the batteries twice per year.
Fireplace
Lighting the pilot light: Make sure the switch at the wall is off. Turn on the gas with the key (counterclockwise ¼ turn until it stops.) Open the panel below the fireplace. Turn the knob to “Pilot.” Push the button with one thumb and hold it for at least 30 seconds (don’t let off the button). With your other thumb, begin pushing the ignitor button repeatedly and watch for the pilot flame. Once the pilot lights, continue to PRESS AND HOLD the PILOT button for 10 seconds. Then release the pilot button. If it stays lit, then turn the button to the “on” position. If it stays lit, then turn the button to the “on” position. Then you may flip the switch on the wall to turn on the fireplace.
Plumbing Back Up
If drain pipes seem to drain slowly and toilets won’t clear, the plumbing may have backed up. While they are rare, this is something that can happen. Before calling us to report the problem, you will want to relieve the pressure from the sewer line on the outside of the house at the cleanouts. For black rubber caps, use a slotted screwdriver to remove the cap, or use a wrench for white plastic caps. Remove the covers and call our emergency line.
Clothes Dryer
If clothes are slow to dry, you may have a clogged dryer vent or vent tube. Check the vent on the roof twice a year to ensure the flapper and vent are not clogged with lint.
Garbage Disposal
If the garbage disposal becomes clogged with food or debris, it will make a humming noise or might stop working to prevent the motor from burning up. If your disposal came with a wrench or “key” (located in your tilt-out tray or warranty drawer, stick it in the slot at the bottom and turn to loosen anything jammed in the blades. Unplug the disposal, reach inside, and clean out any debris or food. Plug it back in and hit the reset button on the out cover.
Garage Door
If the power goes off or the opener suddenly stops working, check the GFCI outlet to make sure it is not tripped. If it is, either reset at the outlet or the breaker switch labeled garage door. If this doesn’t correct the problem, follow these instructions:
Pull the red release cord and then pull the door up manually. Note: the door will not be locked when it is closed until the door is re-engaged on the chain. There is a manual slide lock on the side of the door. If you would like to use the manual slide lock, follow these instructions:
Use a socket wrench or driver to remove the lock and turn it sideways so it will operate correctly. (The garage door company installs these so that they cannot be accidentally engaged during normal operation.)
Unplug the opener before engaging the slide lock. Slide the lock into the open slot in the rail. When normal operation of the overhead door can continue, slide the lock to the unlocked position, remove the bolts, and re-install the lock to the original position to ensure it cannot slide back. Then plug the power cord back into the outlet. Normal operation should begin. Call our office during business hours if you continue to have problems.
If the overhead door goes up and won’t go down, the sensors are the most likely reason. The sensors are located at the lower part of the rail near the door. One sensor has an amber-colored light which means that is the power to the sensors. The other sensor has a green light meaning the sensors are aligned. If the green light goes away, or if it flickers, the sensors need to be realigned. Loosen the butterfly nuts. Make sure your hand isn’t blocking the sensor and then slightly turn the sensor until a green solid light returns.
Popping or screeching noises indicate the door needs lubricant. Do not use WD-40 as it will attract dust and make the situation worse. Instead use a silicone spray lubricant on each moving part—wheels, hinges, cable spool where the rod meets the spool, and lastly, give the spring a quick spray. Run the door up and down several times to help distribute the lubricant.
Noise at Air Return Vent
Sometimes you will hear a “tapping” or “rattling” noise at the air return vents. This noise is caused when the filter moves up and down. As the fan/air/heat starts up, the filter will sometimes pull up and tap the top of the vent. When it turns off, it falls back down onto the grill. If this is noticeable, open the grill door, pull the filter out, and use a flathead screwdriver to bend the filter tabs toward the inside of the vent. This will keep the filter from moving around.
Double Closet Doors Roller Ball Latch
Double closet doors with roller balls/latches may need adjustment. If the door latch at the top becomes too tight or too loose, turn the roller ball clockwise or counter-clockwise to make the ball move up and down to help latch.
Tub Draining Slow
If your tub is draining slowly it most likely is clogged with hair or other debris. Clean this out instead of using Liquid Plumber or Draino products. Put the drain cap in the seated position as if you are taking a bath. Turn the knob on top counter-clockwise to remove the cap. Use a screwdriver to remove the set screw. Remove the drain cap, being careful not to lose parts. Set aside. Use a pair of needle-nose pliers to pull up any debris. Return the drain cap, tighten the set screw. Tighten cap.
Showers and Tub Hot Water Temperature
Shower and bathtub faucets sold in the United States include a scald protector (also called a limit stop). This protector keeps the faucet from being able to turn to the hot position. It only allows you to turn the hot water a little past the warm position. Federal law prevents your builder from adjusting the scald protector. Homeowners are allowed to make adjustments to increase water temperatures. Sink faucets are not affected, but shower and bathtub faucets will not feel as warm. Look in your warranty manual drawer in the kitchen (look for the envelope with the Delta logo) for instructions to make adjustments. Another great resource is the Help Center on the Delta website at www.deltafaucet.com. Search for the video titled, “How to adjust the rotational limit stop on your Delta shower.”
Outlets Difficult to Plug-In
Outlets are equipped with a “safety shield” inside that helps prevent children from inserting objects into the outlets. This safety device is made of hard plastic. You may have to “jiggle and wiggle” the plug into the outlet until it plugs in. This is a safety feature and not a malfunction of your outlet.
Gas Cooktop Not Lighting Correctly
If the gas cooktop burner either doesn’t light or doesn’t light completely, make sure that all caps are on the correct burners. Make sure when cleaning the caps, clean them one at a time and place them on the correct burner. You may have to jiggle them until they fit in the correct position.
All buyers will need to notify all applicable utility companies of your move so that service is provided in your name. We suggest that you contact these companies well ahead of time (about a week before closing) to avoid any interruption in service.

All Ideal communities are a part of a Home Owners Association (HOA) in order to help protect your property values and maintain common areas. Membership in the HOA is mandatory and each homeowner pays annual dues. The annual dues are used to maintain the entrances to the community and any common areas such as ponds, greenbelts, parks, or swimming pools.

Your HOA is incorporated as a not-for-profit corporation at the State of Oklahoma’s Secretary of State office. Most Ideal communities have an HOA maintained by Ideal Homes & Neighborhoods. After the last home in the community is bought and sold, Ideal will begin a long-term transition process to transfer the HOA to residents. This ensures that the HOA will have guaranteed annual income to maintain entries and common areas for which it is responsible.
Your HOA also has the responsibility of abiding by, and sometimes enforcing, the provisions of the governing documents (Restrictive Covenants, HOA Articles of Association, and By-Laws). The Restrictive Covenants are in place to protect property values. This document places restrictions on what a homeowner may do to, or with, their property in the community. For example, you will find restrictions dealing with fencing, garage conversions, boat and RV parking, yard care, and storage buildings to name just a few. These and other restrictions are in place to protect and enhance the property value of every home in the community. It is not within the scope of the HOA to address problems such as unruly pets, disagreeable neighbors, loud parties, or similar occurrences best handled by individuals or the appropriate municipal agency.
C Solutions is the management company for most Ideal neighborhoods' HOA.
