Thanks for the tips! It’s been an interesting process so far. Right now lots of weeds growing which I don’t care too much about, however the HOA might get annoyed…
The thyme seems nice although it’s not native to the pnw from what I understand and would like to try and have something native if possible
So the only part that is our responsibility is our backyard within our fence. Everything else is done by some landscapers once a week. I can’t recall immediately if there are exact rules on how our backyard needs to be maintained, but our across the way neighbors who we’ve become friends with have said if a lawn gets completely overrun in weeds some neighbors may complain but really most people in the neighborhood are pretty chill
