Just found out about this law that went into effect in 2021 in MD. HOAs or communities cannot require turf-only landscapes.

This needs to be propagated. Grass can be fairly low maintenance compared to other gardening, but nobody should complain about alternatives. I enjoy some clover coverage.

Many many years ago I saw a home in NJ that was all sand with some rock formations. I always wondered how the maintenance was for that. I’d personally never do that, but thought it was interesting.

You linked right to the actual text of the law, awesome! Another fun thing in here is that it also prevents landlords from requiring tenants to keep a lawn.
