Kyle is one of the fastest-growing small cities in Texas, with many new HOA communities. The pilot program's hands-on design support from the city conservation coordinator provides documentation that can be shared with an HOA board.
HOA-Conscious Design Tips
- Start with clean edges and defined bed shapes — structure signals care more than plant choice.
- Place shorter plants near the street and taller ones near the house for a tidy layered look.
- Use mulch between plants to signal intentional planting and reduce bare-soil concerns.
- Repeat 2–3 plant species for a cohesive, planned appearance rather than a random mix.
