They're the best lawns by far - low maintenance, good for the water supply, good for local bees. Naturally it is because of how good they are that many HOAs ban them.
It will always allude me that people voluntarily choose to be part of HOAs in the "land of the free", and HOAs almost without fail have shit-tier taste that comes from obnoxious old money failsons.
What the hell do HOAs even DO!? Who the hell benefits from that? Why the hell are environmentalists seen as meddling Karens that need to live and let live when HOAs are seen as cherished friends of the community?
In many places joining the HOA is a requirement of buying the house. On paper what they do is protect everyone's property values by saying no to ugly additions and making everyone keep their exterior clean, in practice they emerged right around the same time as redlining was outlawed and wouldn't you know it they have a long history of enforcing white only neighborhoods without being explicit about it.
Moss and clover are amazing, go out in the woods and find some and transplant it. I switched to only trimming the really tall stuff with a scythe and doing what I can to help the moss overtake the invasive grasses (basically just don't water the grass).

Put rocks, cactus, native fucking weeds, anything
