Hedges as barriers
Hi - we are looking at relocating to the Villages in mid 2022. I could use some assistance understanding what is and what isn't possible with landscaping for homes without existing walls (courtyards and verandas). Is it possible to use hedges as barriers for privacy and to aid in providing a little doggy spot behind one's home? Or are we allowed to do some type of fencing around a larger patio that for example would be a 3' white picket fence just around a non covered patio? Thanks

I strongly suggest you contact community standards, 352.751.3912 to learn about the various Districts Requirements.

People do use hedges as privacy barriers. There may be restrictions for utility easements so you would need to be careful where they are planted. I have seen where folks have put small decorative “fences” around a patio. As a general rule, fences are not allowed. This topic and others are covered in the deed restrictions. I would suggest reviewing these before you buy. This is all public information and can be found online.

You won’t know what deed restrictions to look at until you have narrowed down the area in which you wish to live. THEN you can look at the deed restrictions for that district, which a sales person can help you with.

I would not put my total trust in a real estate salesman? Better to contact community standards before you purchase a house and be sure of what you are allowed to do.

Agreed look at the Deed restrictions, and if necessary get the plot plans from the county government office do you know exactly where all the boundary lines are, for example, we have a 20 foot right of way at the back of our home for utilities, basically nothing allowed in the area, which means the hedges would end up almost next to the house......

Ideally we would like to be central, between 466 and 466A, but just south of 44A would looks promising. I had heard there were some villages that allowed some fencing or experimented with it. Any suggestions? Thanks again and we definitely check out the district covenants. I've lived all over the country and feel like we are needing to research even more on this last move

There are some homes south of 44 that have picket fences behind the house, you could check into those.
