Trying to decide which parts of your lawn are functional? Ask yourself: "Last time someone walked here, were they pushing a mower?"

A few thoughts from John Fleck, a writer of journalism and other things, living in New Mexico
taking out grass and replacing it with rocks or other plants may do well for water consumption but i sure hope that people are also changing their landscaping while they are at it to help capture and infiltrate whatever rains that do come along.
add some hardy shade trees too…
