That's a shame that your niece's landscaping turned into the kind of crap that every homebuilder plants instead of the native species that you had planned. It's particularly bad when it's done in a place of great natural beauty like the Shenandoah Valley where nature should be preserved and enhanced.

At the same time, it's good that you walked away vs. taking her crap.
