Neighbor harassed my landlord until he made me cut all this natural growth down. Look like a downgrade to anyone else? (hexbear.net)

Maybe some grass plants can be used for the same vertical effect without pissing off the neighbour? Put in some Luzula or Carex and he couldn't possibly pretend they're supposed to be cut. This is "mow your lawn" mindset taken to its extreme, it can't be applied to actual plants. If you remove a portion of the grass and make it a "bed" then put in Luzula and Perennials it could have the same effect and nobody would say "cut your planting bed". With that said, it would be 100-200 worth of planting needed.
