I thought there were no fences allowed
I have seen two homes that have put up 4ft high wire fencing and put bushes in front of the wire. Seems to be an area for their dogs. So can you put in a dog run, small fenced area if you hid it with bushes? Someone explain please??

I was wondering if that was allowed...if a fence is OK if it is hidden in landscaping.

I would imagine anything is okay if you hide it and no one sees it to report it.

If no one complains, it's allowed. Sad but seems to be true.

Probably depends on the person.
If the hedges cover the wire fence completely and the dogs are no problem, I would probably leave it be. However, if it detracted from the neighborhood in any way or if the dogs were noisy, I would report them to The Villages. |

Are the bushes behind the wire fence or in front of the wire fence or both? Just trying to visualize the fence and landscaping.

The bushes are on the outside of the fence. if you didn't see the fence before they put the bushes in front you might not even know the fence was there. Trying to make it an invisible fence I guess. But that is not the point. How many other dog owners will put up the not invisible fence and call it landscaping shrubs.

whatever rules we have here in the villages are usually not enforced unless there are complaints. so, if you want action then register a complaint. the fences will be removed.

Bogie is right. If those with fences are reported the fences will have to be removed. I am one who thinks that the deed restrictions in place keep everything looking nice and keep the value of all of our properties.
We have lived with deed restrictions in our old area for the last forty years. They really enhanced our property values and kept things looking nice uniformly.

Let's face it ... these people know the rules, signed a legal document to that effect, but are trying to evade them. Therefore, they should be reported. |

If someone does something really offensive or causes a safety issue, then please complain if it really bothers you. I'm not sure why anyone would bother to complain about a fence they can't see. Live and let live.
