I used to landscape at 3 HOAs in Ohio. Sadly not enough units had been sold so the builder was in charge; they were real sticklers. I colluded with homeowners who sneaked in all sorts of plants. (The restrictions were only front yards or areas visible from the street.) When the needed house to shed the builder at the largest development (280 houses the front yards I weeded biweekly) was sold, the residents began a planting frenzy. Roses, Iris, you name it. I wonder how many of those stupid daylilies are left?

You need to talk to others in your neighborhood--they might feel the same way you do.
