There are restrictions regarding the placement of trees and shrubs, so you need to get an approval before changing things around. The reason: There are often multiple underground utility pipes and cables. When planting a tree or woody shrub, you need to stay 3 feet away from both sides of these underground utility lines. If lightning hits a cable, for example, and burns it out, the utility company needs room to do the replacement work.
