Had a similar situation in which the neighbor on the windowless side of our villa decided to do landscape and added stones all the way up to our wall. I called ARC and they told me that they cannot extend their stone that far and that they cannot have plantings within 18 inches of the wall. I let him know that it was against the restrictions to have done that but I'm not about to press the issue other than letting him know. However I have a downspout splash guard that was there before he landscaped and since it washes away his stones he keeps wedging it so that the water runs back agains my unit. It's a rental unit so I don't get to see him doing this but I'll soon be making a more permanent guard to keep the water away from my foundation. If people would just read their restrictions and talk with the ARC before doing anything these problems would not arise.
