Homeowners have almost unlimited opportunity to landscape their property.
There are several restrictions, however, necessary for public safety. These include shrubs, trees or ornamentation on corner property that will block the view of motorists approaching an intersection, and trees and shrubs that encroach upon sidewalks or streets. Violations of these rules can result not only in inconvenience to others and a fine, but also result in lawsuits in the event of injury or property damage. Shrubs cannot encroach upon the sidewalk. On corners , there cannot be anything more than 30 inches high in a triangular area 35 feet on a side from the corner.
