If they’re doing a Florida Native Plant yard, they would have had to receive ARC approval and provided very specific plans. If they haven’t, neighbors have a legitimate complaint.

From the photo, it looks like pine mulch. I could be wrong. Pine mulch in this quantity could create a fire hazard. It has also been known to clog storm sewers when heavy rains occur.



There may be a reasonable explanation for this. I can’t imagine what it could be. Piling mulch on top of turf is of no value and smothers it.
Yes it is Pine Straw. They killed the grass on purpose before putting it down. Like you said if it was approved no big deal.
