Grand Prairie does not prohibit native plant landscaping. Texas Property Code §202.007 prevents HOAs from restricting water-conserving natural landscaping. The city encourages xeriscaping and drought-tolerant plants consistent with North Texas water conservation.
Grand Prairie does not have an ordinance prohibiting native plant or xeriscape landscaping. Texas Property Code Section 202.007 prevents homeowner associations from prohibiting xeriscaping or water-conserving natural landscaping. The city's water conservation programs, aligned with regional North Texas Municipal Water District efforts, encourage the use of drought-tolerant and native plants. However, all landscaping must be maintained to meet the city's code compliance standards — vegetation must not exceed the 10-inch grass height limit, and properties must not create nuisance conditions. Dead or severely damaged vegetation may trigger code compliance action under Chapter 29.
No violations for native plants or xeriscaping. Unmaintained vegetation exceeding 10 inches: code compliance citation.
