Need custom native garden design plans in California for an HOA?
Whether you’re an HOA resident or a manager, we’re here to help.
Legislation (AB 1572) requires California HOAs to replace non-functional turf by 2029. While we serve customers all over the US (not just California), we can design a custom native garden to help you comply with AB 1572 by the deadline. This can be for a yard of a single-family home in an HOA, a common space, or both!
