She must know where her property line is first of all. After that, there may or many not be planting rules, or any other rules for that matter, IF there is a Homeowner's Association. She did not mention this.
The land adjacent to the pond may be under the jurisdiction of a Homeowner' Association, the town/city or county. A city or county seldom specifies what you can or can't do regarding planting on your own property, but a Homeowner's Association certainly can and often does.

Home Owners Association by: Missy Caulk
Jamie, you have to read the Rules and Regulations of the Home Owners Association.
Many times the land around the pond is a community feature.
You have to find out if you can add shrubs etc.
Sometimes there is a provision in there where you can if you get permission from the governing board.
