I haven't lived in an HOA but I have some friends that do, does yours have any guidelines or rules about garden edging or borders? One of my buddies was getting heck from his next door snitch until we put some stones around his "weeds" patch and tossed a little mulch down. Once it looked just that tiny bit more formal the complaints died down.
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
That's awesome, I'm glad they're not aggressive reporters!
