... with nothing between you and the neighbor but a close-cropped lawn. She is very concerned about privacy and proximity to neighbors. I assume that almost every bit of that lawn is easement, but I also assume that you can put hedges, bushes and trees in that easement, right? These folks just chose not to, right? Looking at that blank wall isn't much different to me than a privacy fence, but apparently it makes her skin crawl! The word "penitentiary" was even used. So, what are the restrictions regarding landscaping? I know fences are out, as are hard scape elements in the setbacks or easements. Thanks in advance. |
Most of what you can and cannot do is covered in the deed restrictions. Here is a link to a sample deed restrictions for one of the newer areas. Deed restrictions are similar for most areas but there are fewer restrictions in the older neighborhoods (in case you are looking at pre-owned homes)

You can find the deed restrictions for any home on this link.
