    If you’re looking for a drought-tolerant alternative, replacing the lawn with gravel or decomposed granite and planting hardy species works really well. Plants like lavender, agave, sedum, ornamental grasses, and small shrubs can handle low water and still look clean and modern. Adding mulch or light gravel also helps retain moisture and reduces maintenance. It keeps the yard structured but much easier to maintain in dry climates. https://app.neighborbrite.com/s/wJpnsmS-RN-
