I hate my lawn so much. It’s ugly because I do the bare minimum to not get fined by the HOA. And I don’t want to waste water and be dumping herbicides just to keep it perfectly manicured. So I just pull the weeds that tend to grow tall, and mow once a month because the grass doesn’t grow too much if I don’t water it.

    Do you live in one of these states?

    The HOA might not have the power to tell you that you have to have a turf lawn.

    Yeah I believe the HOA laws allow a certain percentage of the yard to be xeriscaped. I’m still setting aside the budget for it, not to mention you also have to pay the HOA just to approve the design.
