Frisco, TX Landscaping Rules: Artificial Turf (2026)

' That chart sets different standards by land use. 5, SF-7, OTR, PH, and 2F), turf is 'Allowed in backyards and side yards (that are behind the front wall of the main building and a fence) only,' and it is explicitly barred from HOA common areas; the only material spec imposed on single-family installations is color, which must match 'the color of Bermuda or St. ' Multifamily and nonresidential properties face a fuller technical standard: polyethylene monofilament yarn in dual-yarn construction, a minimum 1-3/4 inch blade height, micromechanical-bonded seaming, and a minimum half-pound-per-square-foot rubber or sand/rubber infill, plus an Artificial Turf Plan submitted with the Landscape Plan covering impervious-surface percentages and drainage calculations.

Urban Living developments (MF-15, MF-19, and dog parks in a Planned Development) carry the strictest standard of all: knitted polyethylene monofilament with antimicrobial protection and an automated sanitation system tied into the irrigation lines, built around dog-park use. Maintenance obligations apply across categories: turf must stay free of weeds, holes, tears, stains, discoloration, and excessive wear, damaged sections must be replaced to match the surrounding turf, and installations must be groomed yearly to prevent compaction.
