Why? Unless it's growing into the neighbour's yard it shouldn't matter, and if it is growing in the neighbour can clip it back. Let the "weeds" bloom and nourish butterflies and bees. Let the thickets go and house a rabbit. Let the trees get scraggly and house more diverse birds.

Why should the people trying to mimic English royalty by perpetuating laws established as hidden racism get to say what a yard looks like?

    There are many weeds that are not native and shouldn't be allowed to florish. Many should be cut back and exterminated. By allowing them to grow they are creating not only a fire hazard but a propagation plant for weeds to every yard around them.

    And you're assuming what they have growing.

    In my "overgrown" backyard I've only got native wildflowers (which can actually reduce risk of severe wildfire compared to all the grass that just dries up around me).
