I had an awful issue with my landscaping because of my neighbor. After my landscaping was completed I had to have a survey done because my neighbors filed a complaint with ARC that my landscaping encroached on his property. I hired a landscaper that did not filed the necessary paperwork and I assumed that everything was being done properly. I was extremely naive and now realize that is "always" the homeowner's responsibility to make sure that all of the required documents are completed and approved prior to landscaping. After the survey was completed it was determined that I was not in violation but my neighbor was. There was so much stress involved that I just let it go and did not file a violation against my neighbor. Needless to say a friendly relationship between my neighbor and us turned into one that we no longer speak. When all of this occurred both homes were only six months old.
