Sorry, I took that comment the wrong way. I do agree with you that so many companies are not informing their customers that a permit has to be obtained from the ARC. I can only assume so many home owners have no idea they are not in compliance with the rules of the minimum footage from the property lines. I can understand how adding a border to an existing landscape bed that was originally put in by the builder would seem OK to do. Not so.
The rules are that a landscape bed with mulch or pine straw must be a minimum of 2 feet from the property line. Add a border to the existing bed and the minimum must be 3 feet from the property line. Homeowners just don't realize this. This is why most of the homes with borders are not in compliance with the ARC.
