Fences are not "frowned upon." That wording seems to convey that they might be allowed. Sorry but that is not accurate.
A fence can only be put up by the builder, when house is built, before it gets sold. If there is a fence there, and gets removed at some point, then left that way for months, then 99% sure you will not get ARC permission to put another one back up.
Landscaping could work, but approval by ARC might be difficult, or not allowed. Might have significant distance setbacks from property lines. Getting through it to cut the crab grass would be a problem since there is no gate.
There are several home types that have back yards either fenced, or combination of walls plus a fence. If you want that feature, buy the house like that.
There are some houses that the back faces a water retention pond. Of the houses with side fences, some also have a back fence, some do not. Alligators are in every pond, and like eating dogs. A fence does not always stop an alligator. If they want to get through it, they can. Although that is rare. No fence + dog + pond = stupidity
