Good point. In a courtyard villa, when you walk out of your front door, you can see your neighbor's house. And, with the easement, you have control of the landscaping that extends from your house to the neighbor's house outside of the neighbor's gate. So, the neighbor cannot put something ugly or objectionable in that area which is within 10 feet of your front door.
