People up north with small yards would plant hedges in the front facing the street to block dust. They often used push lawnmowers. The Villages does NOT allow road-facing hedges for some (?) reason? The fast, riding commercial lawnmower may spew dirt particles in the air, which end up inside neighbor's homes. I saw a real problematic situation with one neighbor (fortunately about a block away) that cuts his own grass and THEN uses a blower to blow HIS grass clippings out onto the PUBLIC road. These do NOT magically disappear - as cars go by they grind up HIS grass clippings and spew the smaller particles up into the air to finally make their way into HIS and HIS neighbor's homes. There should be a nuisance law against that SICK practice!
