I remember my old house, i replaced 75% of the lawn with a flower garden and meadow flowers, moss, etc. the HOA was PISSED. I swear HOAs exist only to be miserable killjoys
My dad did the same with his, only to find his neighbour had tried (sincerely) to be helpful and mowed it while dad was out of town. My dad does not speak highly of his neighbor's intelligence.
Mowed...the moss?
I'm not sure what stage of rewilding his garden had reached at that time, don't think there was a lot of moss, mainly flowers and whatnot.
