Our HOA prohibits artificial grass installation. What should I do?

Leslie Williams, Dandelion Fighter | Dec 18, 2019 10:18 AM

I live in North Carolina, and I am so tired of paying those crazy bills for my lawn! I have Bermuda grass, and it's full of weeds unless you spray with weed killers, and those are toxic and expensive! After two years of struggling with dandelions, crabgrass, clover (tons of clover everywhere), I finally gave up and called Trugreen. They charge $60.95 a month for a lawn and $49.95 for shrub/tree service. I also have to pay Terminix $60 per month, just to keep bugs out of my yard. It comes to about $2,000 per year without termite service!!!!! I wish I can install your synthetic lawn and get rid of these ridiculous bills! But here we go.

Our HOA doesn't allow artificial plants or grass! They want us to keep our lawns in pristine condition, but it's tough. Every year companies are charging more and more. I mean, TruGreen is the cheapest guy around here. Other companies ask for $300 a month! Do you have any experience with HOA in North Carolina? Is it possible to get their approval for a synthetic lawn? Any suggestions?

This is a tough question, as we are very familiar with HOAs rules in state of California, but not necessarily all other HOAs throughout the the country. Most of HOAs are very strict with the front appearance of the houses in the community, and can be easy with backyards: so it will be a good idea for you to find out more detailed information and requirements from your HOA, and you can always feel free to send us those requirements at info!globalsynturf.com and we will be very happy to help you to provide necessary information and answer any questions from HOA. In cases that we have our service team in your area, we can even visit your HOA at their meetings to present our company and products.

Thank goodness artificial grass is allowed in my area. Phew.
Sometime you have to fight with them in order to get what you want, they have stupid rules and not in line with reality.
Sometimes you need to fight HOA.
HOA can be a pain in a**.
Good luck.
Thank you, I will look into docs and let you know.
I am happy I don't have HOA!
