We had areas of common garden that, became overtaken by weeds, despite the best efforts of those on the EC. We had someone come in and clear it out and then heavily mulch the area. Weeds are few and far between these days. Someone comes in once a month for maintenance along with the occasional guest appearance of an EC member! Perhaps suggest the clearing and mulching done first then at a later date the EC could look at getting a few easy care plants in.
You should emphasise the health risks of an overgrown weedy garden (allergies, spiders, snakes, rodents) not just the appearance. If I was looking at purchasing a property, I would walk around it all to make sure it was all looked after, not just the bits at the front.
