They will be more upset about your poor mowing and edging skills  |

 | reply to artisticcheese They're not going to like that you bleached your grass... Better get some spray paint and at least make an attempt to have green grass. |

As with others I would leave it be, it gives it character. Some are. Many aren't. My HOA handles snow removal when it snows more than 3", mowing the grass in the common area/park, street lights in the neighborhood, and signage. The city's neighborhood code enforcement handles grass that hasn't been mowed and they don't cite houses unless it's at least 6", if not 8" long.
For everything else the HOA basically minds their own business, the way it's suppose to be. |

It's harmless and actually considered aesthetically pleasing.  -- "Fascism should more properly be called corporatism because it is the merger of state and corporate power." -- Benito Mussolini
