Artificial turf is allowed in Livermore residential yards. CA Civil Code §4735 prohibits HOAs from banning synthetic grass during drought declarations.
Livermore permits artificial turf installation on private residential property without discretionary review, provided it meets drainage, setback, and where applicable, MWELO requirements for new development. California Civil Code §4735 prohibits HOAs from imposing restrictions that effectively ban artificial turf, particularly during declared droughts. Turf in front yards should be installed with proper permeable base to prevent runoff. Zone 7 and Cal Water do not currently offer rebates for turf replacement with synthetic grass — rebates favor native/drought-tolerant living landscapes.
