Default Re: New Landscaping Restrictions Coming To Lake Co. FL

Developers will always whine that any change they have to make in the "we've always done it our way" view will cost the homebuyers more. Like safe wiring, double paned windows, low flow toilets, anti scald devices in showers, etc. No changes have stopped people from buying a house yet.

In Schertz, TX, Augustine grass is prohibited. It requires 4 to 10 times more water than native grasses in the hot summer.

I'm switching my grass from augustine to buffalo grass, native to Texas. It requires 1/4 inch water to 6 inches of water for augustine. That's a cool savings. And it forms a root mat that strangles weeds. Settlers used it for sod houses in the 1800's. I'd say it's worth it. Just a little fertilizer, like compost tea and it greens up nicely.

People don't like change. They forget they weren't born adults.

They should all grow nanas and get over it.
