Minneapolis FAQ

Can I rip out my whole lawn?

Generally yes on private property, subject to weed-ordinance height limits being inapplicable to managed native plantings. File a managed-natural-landscape plan with Regulatory Services if challenged.

What about boulevard turf replacement?

Boulevard plantings need MPRB permission and must stay below sightline-clearance heights, avoid utility conflicts, and use approved species. Apply through the boulevard gardening program.
