I'm currently in the process of trying to get plans ok, d by Arc .It's aggravating because we back up to Pinellas and are being told we can't do what we want because of the setback. I drive up & down Pinellas and see quite a few walls that I'm sure weren't submitted to Arc because they are well beyond the setback rule.That to me is one of the major differences between a reputable landscaper & one that will do what you want disregarding consequences as long as they get paid. They'll be nowhere to be found when the s..t hits the fan and the homeowner gets a knock on the door& it's ARC saying your wall has to come down.So maybe I'm a worry wart but I even went through the ARC to put up my flagpole.

Oh Jamies landscaping is doing my work. He's very well known in the Villages and follows the rules.
