    Thank you very much for your help!.
    You're very welcome. It's what I do. I'd rather be shooting that's for sure. HOA may have a conniption fit if they see it?? You may want to do some research on your own about root habit. Just so you don't have any broken water or sewer lines in the future. I did see some pictures where the roots tore up an asphalt pathway.

    While the rules are seriously strict... it does not seem to look too closely at backyards. Technically every time "the land is disturbed even in the backyard I am supposed to submit a design request to the board. Many of the folks look like they don't follow by the rules so much in backyards.

    The trees have been there for a while... I may remove the russian olive because I was worried of the same thing you mentioned about the roots. I'll have to read up on the other one some more. The area where they are, is a depression that runs a big length of my yard and it stays pretty moist from the common area irrigation. Water seems to seep right into my yard along the depression right beside these trees. so they should have plenty of water.

    I can guarantee you it looks a lot better now than a couple weeks ago when I cut down the forest of them.

    When my hops rhisomes get here in the mail, I am really going to see what I can get away with!

    I hate commuting, and this company is too good to be true right now... so I'd be a fool to look for anything else. I really need to use my gi bill and pick a new profession i like.

    Horticulture? I couldn't find any colleges that offer a degree nearby... plus I was medically discharged for back issues. :-( Riding around for months with body armor messes you up.

    If you can live with HOA tyrants, you are a very patient person. I'm not cut from the right cloth to put up with that sort.
