Probably not, his lawnmower is set to low and throws his colored rocks over the adobe walls into the neighbors rocks..... LMAO

Sun City is now surrounded by massive subdivisions, including two other huge 'Sun City developments (Sun City West and Sun City Grand). The city of Surprise topped 100,000 people about 10 years ago.

Yes. Xenoscaping they call it. Rocks, with a few bushes and small trees here and there. Haven't mowed a lawn in over 14 years!

Anyone else bothered by this?
It's curtains for you Fred.. Apparently curtains on windows have been banned where you live. Oh woe is you..  Cry

OMG! WE'RE ALL GONNA DIE ! Those flying snakes are now a thing ! Luckily most of them can't pass the exam to become licensed pilots.

it bothers me a lot I have the same issue and cant go back to sleep when the sun is up..


But I think black out curtains could help.


But if we cant get the earth to change its ways we should at least be able to rotate our houses at will.
