The OP did not give any details regarding what he actually wanted to do or meant regarding Xeriscaping.

I am pretty sure The Villages will not permit you to replace a lawn with any type of groundcover whatsoever. The Villages is loaded with plants and shrubs that qualify as being xeriscaped type plantings. In addition, there are a number of plants and shrubs which are non-native that would also qualify under the xeriscaping category.

My suggestion to the OP would be to speak to one of the recommended landscapers on this site regarding what he wants to do.
