I'm positive about the 7 foot rear easement. I checked with the ARC about putting in shrubs, hardscape and possibly a waterfall before contacting landscapers. I was informed in writing that I would not be allowed to place anything there because the area along the rear fences have a 7 foot property set-back and nothing permanent can be placed or planted there except grass.
Last I checked plants are not permanent. The easement is normally restricted so that you don't build a structure etc and doesn't pertain to things that are easily removed. They probably wouldn't allow a waterfall, but plants ?
