Anecdote time! Guy across the street from me just sold his house. Got the Property Report done and the new owners insisted it be compliant. He had a ton of mature plantings next to the swale and inbetween the swale and the fence (theres nearly three feet between the edge of the swale and the fence, its weird, but the fence is on the property line, i think the swale got put in wrong) Anyways after they insisted on compliance, him and I and three other neighbours spent a day digging all these plants up and replanting them split amongst our houses.
My backyard looks beautiful now. His not so much. The new people are getting a blank slate.
