Homeowners’ association rules often outlawed xeriscaping. But thanks to a 2023 Colorado state law, it forbids HOAs from banning xeriscaping or veggie gardens in your yard. No more mandates of thirsty turfgrass everywhere – you can plant water wise natives or even install a clover lawn without fear of fines. HOAs can no longer insist on too much non-plant-based landscapes, now the hardscape max is 20%. Colorado gardeners living with HOA mandates have more freedom to landscape sustainably in our drying climate
