The Columbia County Sheriff’s Office recently was called to the Tudor Branch neighborhood in Grovetown to investigate a dispute between the homeowners’ association and a resident.
A 32-year-old man called the sheriff’s office Wednesday to report that some of the items in his yard were taken and his garden was vandalized on Aug. 21, according to an incident report from the sheriff’s office.
The man told deputies the HOA hired a landscaping company to “fix” his yard and they disassembled his garden in the front and back of his home without his permission, according to the report. The landscapers allegedly removed native plants, sentimental plants and a 55-gallon trash can.
Deputies noted in the report that the man was only made aware of an HOA guideline allowing bushes and trees in the yard.
The HOA did not immediately respond to request for comment.
