I have found the layout and plot plans for villas to be VERY confusing. Without knowing the specific details of your situation, I would suggest the following. First get your plot (plat) plan from the Sumter(?) country building department. Then you can get a copy of the "approved" ARC document, these are public record, and you just need the address to search. Review these 2 documents to confirm if the ARC approval was incorrect, and if so, then you have grounds to the meeting and contest the approval and have the landscaping removed. If on the other hand there was a misunderstanding on your part of the property lines, then make peace with your neighbor.
