Many of the houses in my New Mexico neighborhood have "pebble lawns", as you called them. I live in the desert, so probably all of them should, but my house is one of about half of the houses in the neighborhood that has a patch of lawn of about 120 square feet, the rest is rocks. It's an HOA neighborhood, and the front yards were planned and installed when the houses were built, sprinkler system included. I don't have much say over the yard, but I don't need to maintain it, either.
I'm happy enough with my HOA, they mostly maintain the yards, and keep people from storing crap in their front yards, like rusted cars, etc. They aren't nearly as Draconian as I've read about other HOAs. I've never had a problem with them, but I don't let my house go to shit, either.
The problem is that you only ever hear about the awful HOAs because people who live in good ones don't bitch about it at every opportunity.
My main issue with them is libertarian, but consider this-
You have a reasonable HOA. A couple shits move in and get on the board, then enforce their absurd will onto everyone. No more reasonable HOA.
My petty ass would campaign to become chairman and dispose them.
