Not if you live in an HOA. When I had a house, you couldn't change your lawn to anything but grass or let it die or go wild, and where I lived, during the summer two weeks of not mowing was almost beyond what a riding mower could tackle, the grass would be 6 inches high or more. At least my lawn was watered from an aquifer well that was still close to the surface after nearly 40 years. Sold the house and now live in an apartment with barely any grass (but trees and plants).
