Is that because you're so close to the creek? I know Oregon is very
strict about how close you can do *anything* which includes
cutting/trimming the bushes/weeds next to the creek. Takes all the
caché of creekside living away AFAIC. What if your terraced portion
wasn't stonework, would that make a difference?
