I'm on a corner villa lot. There are rules and regulations on this, talk to ARC and learn them. If you're right, educate your neighbor nicely and if you're wrong, let it go.
My understanding is that the legal property line is right down the middle.
However, landscaping and maintenance "behind the fence" is mine since it's all "in my backyard" although my neighbor has access for maintenance to his house.
Landscaping and maintenance "in front of the fence" belongs to my neighbor to maintain.
Fortunately, I was here first and my neighbor liked my landscaping quite a bit and put in some that was a seamless continuation with some variation. Sweet talk your neighbor into that.
