Native Georgia plants encouraged. No mandatory native-plant requirements in Duluth. Invasive species (kudzu, privet) should be controlled under weed/nuisance code.
Duluth does not mandate native plant landscaping but also does not prohibit naturalized yards. The Georgia Native Plant Society and UGA Extension promote native species (oak, serviceberry, beautyberry, black-eyed Susan, coneflower). Invasive species like kudzu, Chinese privet, and English ivy can become public nuisance issues if allowed to spread to neighboring properties. Landscape areas within the maintained yard area still must meet grass-height rules.
Invasive spread onto neighbors: potential nuisance claim. Unmaintained meadow-style yards: grass-height violation if over 12 inches in maintained areas.
