However, on top of that electrical issue, the ground is sinking in very noticeably around the area where the pool was filled in, meaning the backyard may need additional work and the soil itself that was used may not hold grass or vegetation like the rest of the property.  

Side hill (it's on a corner lot) needs rethinking for vegetation; that water wise landscaping never took, so it's bare dirt with a few spindly weeds.

The property has a ton of crappy vegetation that os wasting space and I want it gone even though these outgoing tenants like them.

It's almost all stone, with mountain cedar bushes and other vegetation covering 85% of the property.

Will extend the offer to tenants for raised bed vegetable gardens in the back if they wish to work it. all our tenants seem to be long term we've had one for 20 years and another for 15 so they feel a pride in living in the building and pick up trash or any fruit that might fall on their own.

Meat bad, vegetables good.. : )  I am not aware of any other profession, in Texas, that requires ethical education training to renew their license.

No vegetable gardens!

Always sell your Best Vegetables and eat the 2nds yourself. 

As for my area, I handle the vegetation management on behalf of the utility company for the entire Bronx & Southern Westchester. 

If you see dead trees or a dead vegetation (out of season), suspect a gas leak nearby.
