I disapprove of that unnecessary lawns and hoa sterile “gardening”. Like they mandate planting rules or hire “gardeners” to maintain a landscape in a sterile, generic state but there is no thought or reason to it. What hoa had their landscaping designed by ecologists with the environment in mind? It’s hoa boards who don’t care but just want something standard and cheap and to put as little consideration into it as possible. All for the “Maximize/maintain house value” lie. Minimum effort at a cheap bland environment harming aesthetic does not maximize value.
