Due to the unknown long term environmental impacts of artificial grass, including inability to support wildlife, significant increase in surface and air temperatures, as well as controversial health risks due to off-gassing and run-off of toxic chemicals, the association encourages its residents to consider other options first.

As an alternative to artificial grass, HWPOA recommends Kurapia as a drought tolerant alternative among their list of groundcovers.
