I think the usual wording for grass/plants goes along the lines of property values and nuisances to bring it within legal frameworks for what they can regulate. permalink fedilink source parent [–] thisisnotgoingwell@programming.dev 2 points 1 year ago No, the city rolls around and if there are things sticking up out of the ground high enough outside of a flower bed they take pictures and send you a letter permalink fedilink source parent [–] Bytemeister@lemmy.world 1 point 1 year ago Send them a letter back with the definition of a weed. a wild plant growing where it is not wanted and in competition with cultivated plants.
