Garland does not ban front-yard vegetable gardens. Property must remain compliant with Chapter 32 weed/height and maintenance requirements.
Garland has no ordinance prohibiting vegetable gardens or edible landscaping in front yards. Gardeners must still comply with Chapter 32 minimum property standards, keeping weeds and grass under 12 inches in height and maintaining the property free of junk and debris. Raised beds and structures are allowed but may require a permit if they exceed the dimensions or heights set by the Garland Development Code. Turf replacement with low-water plantings is supported through regional water conservation programs.
Front-yard gardens that violate weed height or minimum property standards can be cited under Chapter 32 with fines up to $500 per day after notice and a cure period.
