Also, lot-wide rock gardens and painted concrete. ;-) Seriously, zero lawn landscaping should be considered. You can landscape nicely with hearty attractive plants that require much less water than grass. The Colorado Springs community my son lives in allows it (they may even require it) and the community really looks great.
