I personally look forward to getting rid of the lawn and bushes and shrubs that need water or are cold intolerant. Then I will have low maintenance and no need to worry about what needs to be watered or covered, no fertilizing, no cutting....how can it be better than that?!!!!

Keeping a good looking lawn in FL is like trying to grow grass on a sand dune!!!

I lived in Vegas for 10 years and in 2003 the city was giving home owners 1 dollar a square foot to remove their lawn in replace it with rock or as they called it, desert landscaping, due to the water shortage there at that time.

Water shortage memories.

Riding our 03 Dresser across. Riding in to Vegas! Ruth complaining of Dehydration and then a Speed Sensor gave it up in the 110+ heat.

Was a great trip! Little dry but a great trip!

I did notice the rock landscape. Was not that bad looking.

Wondering if we can do that in a designer neighborhood? Anyone know?

Any water restrictions will be noted on the bottom of your monthly Water/Amenities bill.
