Irving does not prohibit artificial turf in residential landscaping. TX Property Code § 202.007 prevents HOAs from prohibiting drought-resistant landscaping alternatives.
Irving does not have a specific ordinance prohibiting or regulating artificial turf for residential landscaping. Artificial turf may be used as an alternative to natural grass, consistent with the city's water conservation goals. Texas Property Code § 202.007 prohibits HOAs from restricting xeriscaping and other water-efficient landscaping alternatives, which courts have interpreted to include quality artificial turf. Any artificial turf installation must still comply with general property maintenance standards (no tripping hazards, must be maintained in good condition). Drainage must not be adversely affected. Commercial and multifamily developments must comply with the Unified Development Code landscape requirements, which may have specific plant material standards.
No violations for artificial turf. Must be maintained per property standards.
