We put a lot of time, effort and money into our landscaping so our front lawn looks lovely. When I turn into my street which hapeens to be on a cul-d-sac, I shudder looking at the mess across the street from me.
I don't want to complain formally but just wondering if the Community Watch person who drives around has the authority to notify the residents that their lawns are not within the standards of maintenance in keeping the front of your home in decent shape.

Yes, this is a real issue and it's sad that fairly supposedly intelligent people who have homes here don't do the basics like TAKE CARE OF THEIR LAWNS? I have recently looked up the phone number of the person who owns the house across the street from me and had a personal phone call with him. My rule of thumb is generally GO TO THE SOURCE first. He is not full time , so I prefaced the phone call with "You may not be aware....but.....your lawn looks JUST aweful and it really is ruining the neighborhood." I said it VERY nicely and gave him the benefit of the doubt. Yes, I put alot into my lawn (I have someone do it for us) and I simply have it budgeted. Why should I look at someone's crappy lawn when mine is so nice? Is this fair? Maybe a lawn service should come in, DO IT, and then send them the bill.
