Sandy Springs allows artificial turf as a water-saving lawn alternative with conditions. Installation typically requires proper drainage substrate and weed barrier. Some jurisdictions restrict turf in front yards or require minimum quality standards. HOAs in many states cannot prohibit artificial turf. Heat concerns exist as synthetic turf can reach 150F+ in direct sun. Infill materials may be regulated for environmental reasons. Permits are generally not required for residential turf replacement but may be needed if grading changes are involved.
Generally no penalties for installation. Non-compliant drainage may require correction. HOA fines may be unenforceable where state law protects turf rights.
