Does anyone know if you can hand draw a not-to-scale landscape design of my front yard for the HOA approval?
I recently moved into a detached home community in Phoenix, AZ and my front yard has one ugly bougie. I have ripped out that plant and want to plant shade trees. I only have enough money to buy my trees and I don’t want to spend it on a professional design plan. Unfortunately the community has an HOA and I have to submit a design of my yard so that the HOA can accept of deny my landscape design. Do I have to have every darn thing that I want to plant in that yard to scale or can I guesstimate. The fist thing that I must have are shade trees and then later (when I have more money) I want to add flowering bushes, but I don’t know which ones. So do I have to place those in my design as well, even if I have no idea what type I want?

Most HOA will accept had drawn designs. No they don’t have to be to scale. But you will need to explain what types of plants, stones, structures and colors you plan to use. Other then that you shouldn’t have any problems getting approval.
