From what I understand about State and County codes and past experiences with TV ARC..

Unless the ARC is fining you , taking you to court , OR you are out of compliance with a County or State code and merely infringing on a special easement / utilities easement...

Someday IF they need to use the easement to repair or run new utilities, they can dig up / destroy what landscape is within the easement and not repair anything (beyond filling the ditch and repairing sod).

The stacked wall common to TV landscape designs is considered movable, non-permanent construction. This is why you don't need a County permit to build it.

If you are blocking intended drainage causing water to route in a way that could cause your neighbor/s problems, you may be liable for the problem/s.

Unfortunately, some of these landscapers look like the real deal and are making a LOT of money doing poor work, that LOOKS like good work.
