Default Grass free yard in So Cal

...

You re a few hours away from Las Vegas. Our water authority will
actually pay you to remove grass, IF you follow their rules of
inspection before you do it. We use a variety of crushed stone, river
stone for a "dry river" sandstone and granite.

The site:

These links weren't working when I tried them, but the main site was down,
too, so maybe there's some system-wide problem.

A friend used to work at the water conservation demonstration garden in Las
Vegas. He now has his own landscaping business
(http://www.schillinghorticulture.com/), but we still visit the
demonstration garden there on trips out to Las Vegas. We have family there,
so we come to the city quite often. Since we're not gambling/casino types,
the gardens are one of our favorite places to stop by.
