The front is succulents because the oak tree sends up feeder roots that turn that area into a 🏜️. Years past, I would have to replant that area constantly. The succulents seem to be doing quite well, but could probably use more light.

Usually succulents look better with quite a bit of shade. My Aeonium either has giant green rosettes which are pretty and it flowers well or small maroon rosettes in a tighter clump and I don’t get many flowers.
Did you check the mature size of the agaves? They look better untrimmed.
Great looking yard. Fluffy flowers, sculptural agaves and lots of shade. Love it!

Honestly this looks way better than the usual sterile suburban lawn setup. Feels alive.

Imagine having a lawn when you can have shade and plant variety like this
