Our POA has a restriction on the amount you can irrigate. Xeriscape
encouraged. We're in the middle of a drought right now, which isn't
that uncommon in central Texas. I like grasses which will go dormant
in drought, like buffalo. Not a lawn you'd want to lay down and roll
on, that's for sure.

We did our back yard in Buffalo grass and it is great.
When it gets around to raining it greens up and when]
it's dry its brown. Have to mow a few time a year
when it's dry and maybe every 3 weeks or so when it's
wet. :-) Front yard is some desert plants and some
concrete product called "Tuff Turf" 18 x 24 inch blocks
4" tck with a hole pattern and filled with sand.
Yep the "desert south-west" is great. !! :-)
