Street margin? Is this the strip between the curb and the sidewalk? In our
locale (Pittsburgh, Pa. metropolitan area) we call this the Devil Strip. It
doesn't belong to you, but your responsible for it's upkeep and maintenance.



None of my land belongs to me. It's all on loan. Either way, I removed all the
grass from the "parkway" (what they call it in Texas) and planted it with Gaura
lindheimeriii, 3 cedar elms, Muhlinburgia lindheimerii (sp?) and D. inoxia.

No mow, no water, no nothing. They can have it whenever they want it.
