San Diego County has no ordinance banning artificial turf, and California law bars agencies from prohibiting drought-tolerant landscaping. The county's landscaping ordinance limits decorative real turf on commercial sites, not synthetic lawns at homes.
There is no county prohibition on installing artificial turf at a home in unincorporated Bostonia. The Water Conservation in Landscaping Ordinance restricts water-thirsty cool-season turf on commercial, industrial, and multi-family projects (for example capping decorative turf to a share of the landscaped area and banning it on medians and parking islands), but these limits target living grass, not synthetic turf. Residential synthetic-lawn installs may still need to meet drainage and stormwater standards.
No turf-specific penalty for homeowners; installations that violate grading, drainage, or stormwater rules can face building-code enforcement.
