I always turn off the sprinkler system entirely in the summer and haven't had any issues with the landscaping.
We have the standard full lawn in the front and back except for some curbing/rocks around two trees and the lamppost, plus shrubs along the front walkway. Nothing delicate and no flowers, so others might not fare as well.
Water usage (excluding fees) was $2.28 last month! I don't know why I get such a kick out of thwarting that, but I do.
