Renowned Entomologist Says ‘Get Rid of Your Lawn’

Some homeowner associations have rules about what can be grown on a property. Some (many? I'm not in a HOA) require it be a traditional lawn. Some people try to do alternative lawns like native bushes, or even raised bed gardens, and then have legal push back to turn it back into a lawn. I think it sucks.

My father constantly battled the HOA where I grew up. It was strictly written up in the HOA agreement the requirements around lawn care and changes to landscaping and I personally hated it as I was stuck doing the work (my father hated it for different reasons).

I have never heard a story about an HOA that gave me any positive thoughts about them. The lesson is, never bind yourself to an HOA's rules.
