LeawoodGardener,

Consider yourself lucky it looks nice and you can call it a creek. Ours is more a ravine. We've planted some liriope in the hopes it would stop the erosion, but it hasn't worked on one side. They continue to build more and more buildings with huge parking lots upstream, so every year there's more water that pours thru here when it rains. The rest of the time it breeds mosquitos. The county brought a prison work ?gang? to clean out the fallen trees about 15 years ago, which did help, but that's the last time anyone has worked on it. The city has incorporated it now, and it's even less likely that they'll do anything.
