First question before you make a purchase, “Is there an HOA?”
HOA’s are nothing more than small libtard fiats that have no excuse for existence but to protect the homogenous neighborhood. Race clauses are illegal in covenants so should be mini-fascist HOA boards. Both allegedly are there to protect property values. What makes HOA’s morally superior?
If you really feel that your neighbors alternate theory of upkeep is going to impact you, you didn’t buy enough property or you picked the wrong neighborhood.

you picked the wrong neighborhood

Like one without an HOA?

The grass greenies are a real pain in the rear. We have no HOA but they ply our neighborhead every year trying to sell contracts for regular lawn fertilization and other treatment. Hello! This is SW Pennsylvania where grass grows just fine on its own.

One even had the audacity to come knocking on my door to inform me that clover had taken over nearly half my lawn and try to sell me on a program to rectify this awful situation.

I looked at him and asked him if he knew that clover provided its own nitrogen? Further, I preferred honeybees in my yard to lawn chemicals in my groundwater. He looked at me like I was crazy and told me that if no action was taken, clover would soon cover my entire lawn. I told him I was looking forward to that day and my lawn would only need a monthly mowing when it came. To hasten that end, every fall, I dug up clumps of clover and transplanted them into the grassy areas of the lawn to speed up the process.
