I also believe ur lucky because my dad wont let me get a tree house. I would almost certainly do a large oak tree or a maple tree because those are sturdier and larger.

Thanks for your comment. I always make friends with HOA people. If I'm removing lawn, I invite them to tour some of my pretty lawn-less yards. Are there any to show them or photograph in the neighborhood? Also, there are "drought tolerant" lawns bred for the desert so you don't have to go completely "lawn-less" if you could use some green. I recommend the "Eco Lawn" (www.Eco-Lawn.com) or UC Verde grass- www.UCVerde.com Both require 75% less water than traditional "Marathon-type" lawns. If the rules are on your side, insist on them with a positive attitude. Good luck. Shirley Hi Jeremy,

I live in an HOA and would like to replace my lawn with plants. The HOA is giving me a very hard time, referencing the rule book saying that you can't remove grass, when in fact the rules state that you can. Do you have any suggestions/ideas as to how to deal with the HOA? I live in CA, and I would be putting in drought resistant plants in place of my lawn. By the way, I love the garden courtyard.

I've done several yards, both back and front, with no grass. In our neck of the woods (Austin, TX), it really makes sense, particularly in our Phase II water restrictions. Great job! : ) Beautiful!
