Artificial turf is not expressly prohibited in Winter Park but is discouraged in front yards due to character and canopy preservation goals. HOAs within Winter Park often restrict synthetic turf.
Winter Park's residential design guidelines prioritize natural landscape character consistent with the city's tree canopy and historic neighborhoods. Synthetic turf is typically acceptable in back yards, patio areas, and dog runs. Installation should follow proper base drainage to prevent runoff issues. Commercial installations may require stormwater review.
