So many people here try and do a full grass lawn here. We’re already in a desert, why pick something that looks ugly, takes a ton of work, and needs water every other day just to keep green?
There are a ton of ways to pull off low-water landscaping that still looks good, just need a bit of creativity and an open mind.

The house on the left would look even more striking and visually appealing with a natural garden like the right. It looks considerably less interesting as it is.
mfs in the desert need to stop wasting all the water on lawns.
I’d rather play with my kids on grass than a cactus patch.
Maybe you’re built different. Maybe a 3rd option is better.
This sub is pretty ridiculous sometimes
The one on the left looks so out of place against the natural back drop, it’s tacky. Why? Just why?
Damn true it’s like why do they even live there?
It is because the area is full of old people still stuck in the Cold War mindset of a perfect lawn being the visual representation of being respectable and proper member of society.
Kids like Playing in grass more than rocks and cactus..
Well, you can walk on a lawn, but really shouldn’t walk on cacti. Kind of a no brainer.
The left picture is obscene.
They may be able to afford paying someone to keep it up. I myself wish we could change our whole yard to a no mow type of yard.
Oh my God, Palm desert is a radicalizing experience
I stumbled upon this but y’all are crazy. The left one looks so much better and you can actually do things on it. Pretty awesome to have a park in your back yard. Just my opinion though
Honestly in desert areas people should be fined heavily for having grass yards. Regulations and then actual enforcement
I want the house on the left with the yard on the right
