Can you sue HOA for not doing the landscape?
The key to financial power lies in your credit rating. If you plan to get a home loan, save money and get better credit starting now!
Unfortunately, most declarations (aka CC&Rs) only allow the board to raise assessments a certain amount every year, unless the owners vote to increase them more. Consequently, as certain expenses go up, if the assessments do not go up, the bills cannot get paid. The Board sometimes makes tough decisions of what they can pay and what they can't. I've had some associations where they had filed a claim on their insurance, and the following year, the premium doubled (or more). If the owners won't vote to increase the assessments, where will the money come from???? Like someone else mentioned, in many areas, there are only a couple of insurance companies left who will insure HOAs.
You need to go to the next board meeting and ask how you can help. Be a part of the solution, not a part of the problem.
Can you sue HOA for not doing the landscape?You cannot sue the HOA for mismanagement. Even if you did, and you won, you would be suing yourself and your fellow property owners. I am not sure of the type of structure you have in your HOA. It sounds like you have delegated some of the responsibilities to a private firm. Your HOA still must have a board of directors that is responsible for these decisions. Go to them and ask them to fire the management firm. If that does not work, your recourse is to vote the board members out of office at the next election or, if allowed by your bylaws, recall them and replace them.
Good luck.

A better approach would be getting yourself elected to the board so that you can be the one shopping around for rates and doing all the other things you feel they aren't.
Can you sue HOA for not doing the landscape?1st option. Submit a bid to do the landscaping yourself. Go down to home depot and hire some help.
2nd option. Vote to raise the dues to cover the new increases. If you are in a Hurricane state, your rates probably doubled and even shopping around would not have helped.
