Since it will eventually be a rental property and you'll have to hire someone to cut the grass anyway (I assume there's grass😂) would trimming the hedges add a lot to the expense, or add a lot to the desirability of the property?

Because that's exactly what the Fed has been turning the thumb screws to achieve.
