You can believe the Government or you can believe a group of lawyers who convinced 12 gullible jurors that Round-up causes cancer.

Now that's a tough choice. Is neither an option?

My point is, assuming your neighbor is remiss is an assumption that may be unwarranted. A neighborly phone call/text/email would be in order, upon the assumption that they may be unaware. ![]() Incidentally, if you or anyone has any suggestions for mowing in Tall Trees, I'm all ears ... thanks FredF |

There are also propane flame weed killers for those that worry about Round-Up. Burn up those little rascals!

I'm trying the flame thrower approach with mixed results

We drove by a couple of houses close to each other a week ago and the houses quite frankly looked abandoned because how bad the yard had grown with weeds. The front doors even had multiple business cards (I assume for lawn care) stuck in the door. If this was the house next to me I could feel your pain. Take a picture and send it to the neighbor and ask? Heck for all you know the lawn care guy is charging them for weekly when they only mow just before they arrive back from the north, LOL

OP, I would suggest that you download and read your deed restriction document from the website, "districtgov.org". Here is what mine says about weeds:
"Maintenance of landscaping shall further mean the exercise of generally accepted garden-management practices necessary to promote a healthy, weed-free environment for optimum plant growth". Obviously, this is very subjective and common sense is not sufficient to ensure the agreement of everyone. That is why I would suggest getting an opinion from the Community Standards office as to whether your neighbor is in compliance with their standards. That is their job. You don't need to "turn them in" but it will at least give you an official opinion when you discuss the issue with the neighbor. |

I don’t think Community Standards just drives around giving opinions…….they respond to complaints.

Good neighbors are great things to have, we lucked out and are surrounded by a great group of folks. They keep an eye on things while you're gone and let you know so it doesn't get out of hand. I'm confident I could ask anyone of them and I'd get assistance and that goes the other way as well.
In my opinion one of the best things about this place.

While on the subject, I'll take the opportunity to speak highly of "Terrence" - an independant lawn guy I've gotten to know a bit in our neighborhood. I *think* his company is Outdoor Maintenance. No website. The type of person that you like to see succeed. I believe his number is 352-303-6127. Hope it's OK to post that here. |

According to Community Standards, they would be glad to provide an opinion based on a photo as to whether the neighbor is violating their deed restriction. It would NOT initiate a complaint. To me, this would be valuable information to have before discussing the issue with the neighbor.
