A couple of years ago I was on a garden tour north of 466 and one of the homes in Royal Oaks in Springdale had put in a large expanse of ground cover and still had some grass. It looked really nice. I made inquiries today and I am told that because it is considered water wise TV are allowing it now, but it has to go through the right Board or something or other to get it done. The one I saw was professionally landscaped and looked really elegant. This particular home has a big old beautiful oak in the front yard and the ground cover had been brought around the oak and curved down across the front lawn and down towards the street, then the remainder of the yard was grass. I believe the ground cover had a small blue flower (maybe low growing periwinkle), it was very low, only the height of the grass. However, this is not a cheap fix for getting rid of grass, it needs maintenance to keep it looking immaculate.
