We feel lucky in that we mostly like what they put in front and on the side patio of our CYV. We have added a lot, but only pulled out a little - but we did pull out some - not the case everywhere.

On our street there are several with Palms. We asked for it and they wrote it into the contract. They failed to plant it so when we mentioned it, they dug up the Magnolia and planted a palm. Since then I have seeb a few more planted. Other than that, if you don't upgrade your landscaping, it will be rather bleak. Our's was.
