Frisco encourages native Texas plants through WaterWise landscape guidance. No ordinance mandates or bans native plant yards, but HOAs may have turf requirements.
Frisco Water Utilities promotes drought-tolerant native landscaping through its WaterWise program, partnered with NTMWD. Native plants such as Texas sage, lantana, and buffalo grass are recommended. No city ordinance mandates turf grass. HOAs often require minimum turf coverage; Texas Property Code 202.007 limits HOAs from banning drought-resistant landscaping but allows reasonable aesthetic rules. Tree Preservation Ordinance credits native species at higher mitigation value.
