I bought a piece of land in the mountains and hired an architect. His wife was a paleoanthropologist. We all surveyed the 4 acre plot. I got nervous when she discovered a corner of square flat land with a pile of old rocks and a dilapidated border. We discovered it was the graves of two of the original settlers from the 19th century. (God forbid if the interned were native Americans. The site would be a casino now.)
We contacted, with difficulty, the descendants of the two deceased. They were happy with our plan to build a permanent memorial fence and place a plaque on the site. I never told the city/county. They would want me to get a cemetery license!
Sorry sir, you think mowing is hard? Well, all that European grass has to be pulled out and replaced with native prairie grasses. No heavy machinery allowed in the effort.
Not a bad idea considering what one poor cancer-ridden fellow had to endure last week from a judge in Michigan who said she’d like to put him in jail for not mowing his lawn. You can’t make this crap up:

If Chaplin would make a film of that would it be called “MOWdern Times”?

And the neighbor put up the fence himself.

Wow, this is great! I have been thinking about declaring our weeds native plants and making our yard a native plant sanctuary.

And can’t sell it or do anything else without city permission. If that’s what you want.

Heaven help him when he and his wife decide to move and can’t sell the house because it’s a landmark.
