I know what you're saying, since we just moved here from Tucson, where desert landscaping is the norm, and a lawn is indeed a rare sight.
Actually, this house has mainly rock landscaping, it's just a small part of the backyard that has grass ( the area around the back porch). While I would prefer a no-nonsense backyard myself, this section is already set up with a sprinkler system(which was broken until 2 days ago) and brick borders so the grass area stays.
Thanks for the tips though, I'll also be talking to someone at the nursery to see if they have any further advice.
