It was a 5' set back but it was changed to 3'. Still......most landscape beds are not even 3' from the property line. Take a look in your neighborhood. I've been noticing how close the borders are on so many neighboring home sites. I have no idea how the lawn companies get their large lawn mowers through the small space.

The landscaper I had at my home yesterday said my lawn cutters must drive their mower right over my landscape bed to get through. I have no idea why I didn't realize this was going to be a problem when we purchased this house. I guess I wasn't thinking that far ahead.
