Sod Grass area
 

I may want do a lot of planted areas in the front by the street and sides of drive also rear around the lanai.

I read a while ago that a certain % of the sod needs to retained, is that correct?

If so how is it calculated, how are planted areas used if at all in the equation.

Or a link to the rules or regs.

You really want to work that hard? :yuck:

Haaaa, it's less work than grass ;)

Here is the link to the Deed Restrictions.
Go to 2.0 Covenants & Restrictions
Then 2.7 It reads 51% is to be sod.

thanks,

kinda interesting it says the yard area visible from the roadways.

So if your backyard isn't visible from the street no sod is needed if I understand that part.

But that link is for designer units, but it led me in the right direction ie: covenants & restrictions.

They are different though for different home series, in cottage units there is no % stated. see 197

So you need to check your specific units restrictions

Am I missing something? Sod is just expensive removable grass with dirt attached. :laugh:

Edit: never mind. After reading the restrictions is says sod, not grass. In other words, they require instant full lawns!

An article on page 17 of the June 2012 POA bulletin informs us of a new law that allows us to incorporate "Florida Friendly" plants as part of our 51% "sod". Here's the link:
