Thanks, and yes, my plan was to talk to ARC before making any final decisions.
The tree in that area came with the house, and we were planning to leave it, it is surprising to me how close it is to the utilities.
A couple neighbors have had rock put in, but I have not caught them at home to ask if they are approved or just did it. Talking to them is also in the works.
