I agree with your wife about leaves. I have yet to figure out what these people's problem is when most of them in fact, do not mow or edge their own lawn.

We take care of our own lawn, etc., and have no problem with the falling leaves. No big deal!
Yea, I don't have anything better to do than calling the Arch Review board to find out if my neighbor got approval for his landscape work..

The review board is not worried about you removing palm trees, nor the artistic representation of your landscape. They want to know if you are making your beds bigger affecting proper drainage for you and your neighbors, removing the native tree planted when your house was built according to State code, adding permanent walls or patio outside your buildable zone, building landscape walls too high...

Removal of non native species from your landscape bed is not mentioned in the requirements the Arch Committee published for landscape work requiring approval.
