Can you build a dry river bed with river rock?
If you can plant flowering hedges in front and back of the ditch. Whoever has the easement/ditch will keep the inside of both hedges nice and you keep the other side nice.
When you say you cannot cover, I am going to assume you didn't mean with plants. If you can, I suggest alyssum or ice plant. Both are pretty durable.
Ask about rock, we installed that for ours and they were okay with that. Since you cannot plant anything, what would happen if you sprinkled wild flower seeds in there and they grew on their own, would that be okay?
A pond would be nice.
Line parts of it with some sort of river rock and put a cute little foot bridge across. Make it seem like an intentional part of your landscaping.
Why not enhance the ditch and incorporate it into your yard by making it a dry riverbed? Use rocks to line it, plants and shrubs edging it and a bridge over it.
I'm so glad you like the idea, I guess worst case you could do a little watering if needed. Maybe pick a kind of wildflower that grows well on little water?

Adding large stones help appearance If that agrees with your asthetic.
Not if the pond is open ended, no blockage, you just enjoy while the water is there.
Can you take the grass up n put pea gravel in?? Then plant moisture loving plants as it will hold water when it rains..id add a few cattails also..you can boil and eat the roots ya know..plus they are native to most places..plant flowers that butterflies..bees..n hummingbirds love and you have helped the environment as well as food for pollinators...
I would think that you could scatter some low-growing round cover seeds that might take hold. You'd think that the county would approve and they'd want that rather than weeds that might grow tall.
