What it is and who needs it.
What the landscape bond actually covers
When the City of Fayetteville approves a development, its landscape and tree ordinances require that certain landscaping be installed — and that it be maintained and warrantied so it survives establishment. Rather than hold up a certificate of occupancy until plants are mature, the City accepts a maintenance and warranty bond as the financial guarantee.
It is a three-party arrangement: you (the principal), the surety carrier, and the City of Fayetteville (the obligee). If the required landscaping is not installed or dies within the warranty period and you do not replace it, the City can recover its cost against the bond.
It is not insurance for you — if the surety pays the City, you repay the surety. Developers who install and maintain the approved landscaping treat the bond as a development formality.

Claims, renewal, filing, and what sets the price.
If a claim is made
A claim comes from the party the bond protects, the obligee named on the form, when the duty the bond guarantees is not met.
The surety investigates and pays a valid claim, up to the bond amount. You then repay the surety: a surety bond is a guarantee of your performance, not insurance for you.
Renewal and term
The premium covers a one-year term from the effective date you choose.
Renew before the expiry date to keep the bond in force: the license, permit or contract it backs expects continuous coverage.
How to file it
File with the City of Fayetteville. Submit the executed bond to the City to satisfy your development approval. Wet-ink originals mailed whenever the City insists.
What sets the price
The premium is 2% of the bond amount, $100 minimum: the amount the obligee sets moves the price, not your business profile.
No credit check up to $10,000. Above that, the carrier may run a soft pull, which never affects your score.
Where a check runs, it decides approval; the rate is the same for everyone approved.
