Grass Retention and Replacement Plan

We have been striving to maintain and preserve the grass throughout Mendocino. Unfortunately, the recurring damage from cottontails, gophers, and crab grass does not make it economically feasible to keep replacing the grass without resolving the underlying cottontail problem first. Simply put, it will just bankrupt the HOA. The board has put a lot of effort into researching the solutions and adopted a Grass Retention and Replacement Plan (in Documents and Forms on the right). The goal is to preserve the grass for as long as possible while gradually switching patches beyond repair to more drought (and cottontail) tolerant options over time.
