A blockquote:
I have just been informed by one of my good friends who sits on the board that the association is disgruntled at my newly installed atsro turf. I asked what was her opinion. She says “I told them it looked good and they should leave you alone. It is the perfect idea if everyone could afford it. Unfortunately the board has a conformist mentality.“.
I laugh, because it was the board that knocked on my door 3 months ago reminding me that my yard was becoming a pile of “weeds and dead grass“ to which I replied, watering once a week cannot save this grass right now and as to the weeds, they come from landscaping companies driving their mowers across the sidewalk from one house to the next.
To get them off my back and the constant comments, plus since I do not believe in watering for the sake of a green lawn, we invested in astro turf and rain barrels to keep our vegetable garden from dying.
Now begins the next round of war, they want my astro turf gone! I am not backing down
