Why not mix stone/concrete/pavers (outdoor surface material) with the fake grass that LT is a spokesperson for? Its expensive up front but you make your money back in 5 yrs or so. The RSF fire dept has it in front of their substation in 4s ranch and it looks good. Doesnt look cheap and quite real from across the street.

I agree with the idea to use less grass and more drought tolerant plants. A good source for info is

I have friends who one a “best garden” from the water district – their yard is lush, lots of flowering succulants, mixed with cactii and a small patch of grass in the back. In the shady spots they have ferns. A nice combination of hardscape, ground cover and succulants – you’d never assume it was a water thrifty yard. The hummingbirds LOVE their yard.

I aspire to have their garden – we’re recovering from construction and need to do a lot of work.

Went walking around my neighborhood last week. Just getting out and stretching. Noticed a house with a large deep green lawn, some trees around the edges and a few “features” like fenceing and stone walk way and such. I was annoied that someone would waste that much water on their grass, and walked up to see the depravity for myself. That was when I realized it was fake grass. I litterally had to walk up and look directly at it to realize that the grass (75% of the yard) was fake. The trees were mature and needed little water I am sure, they were not redwoods after all. Great yard, little water.

My dad ripped out all his grass and put in suculents. Every single one of his friends are trying to get him to help them redo their yards.

I dont know where you live, but id bet there is a nursery or something near by that would love to help teach. Or try these guys:

The water crunch is coming. THey are talking about cutting water deliveries to CA farmers to nearly 0 this year.
