DIY & Home Improvement

It could be you have your own well in an aquifer that isn’t under stress. If so , go for it. If not, if you rely on municipal water just about anywhere in AZ, planting a new lawn seems wrong. They squander water and the mower you use, if not electric, will pollute more than you’d imagine. I’m happy to be corrected on any of this

A better idea is that if you have to do lawn at all, plant a small one then develop the land around it with sparse plantings of drought tolerant natives. Pampered foreground, semi wild middle ground, wild background is a great motif.

PS. Having had a larger lawn on a riverside property in an area without water stresses I can say with some authority, a big lawn is a pain in the ass no matter how you do it.
