I wouldn't try to mow between the screen and fence, and I would want more color/structure then the scrubby preserve plants. Just an opinion

Nothing permanent in easement area, so bushes are out. That’s why they suggested mulch, or grass. We can build right up to the 7.5’ easement, they sent us couple of rough sketches, with birdcage within 6 inches of easement. Anything we plant could be dug up and destroyed if needed, so rock may not be the best option. Bushes are considered permanent and not allowed. Plus we would not want to block the view, trimming would be worse than mowing grass.
Couple of posters have PM pics of their easement, with their design so Big thanks to all who sent them
