We will be adding a pool after market, wondering what you did with landscape in the easement. We have trees, and green space view. Can’t plant in the easement, so did you, Leave grass to mow, or mulch area?
Thanks in advance

A drop of eight feet. Might be wise to contact a professional landscape architect, A steep drop can be dangerous and difficult to mow. Steps with landing levels a possible solution. Retaining wall? Traditional landscape timbers, will not last long in Florida. Iron fence? Real iron fences have not been made since about 1920 or 30. What people call iron fence is typically steel.
The difference iron, is brittle but it does not rust. Either is a pain to paint.
An interesting project. Probably better done before the house is built.
