Planting a compact yard
With Indigo lots starting at 40 feet wide, space for planting is tight. A planter strip along the back wall, a few large pots on the patio, and climbers on a trellis add green without eating into usable space.
Small trees only
On a small lot, choose trees by mature size and root habit. Keep them well away from the house, slab, and walls, and stake them until established.
Drip and HOA
Put planters and pots on drip with their own valve. Sunstone has an HOA (about $358 a month, per Lennar). Get the design guidelines from your HOA's management company before you collect quotes, and don't schedule work until approval is in writing. Our planning and approvals guide has more.

Do I need HOA approval for landscaping?
Usually, especially for trees. Ask for the HOA's guidelines and any approved plant list.
