I went to Albuquerque for a class in 2010 and was quite amazed at how good their grass looked, well until I actually walked by a patch and realized it was artificial <lmao>

Living in Arizona, I really dig on the "native landscaping" that some people are able to pull off...saves water for the golf courses.  :fawkdance:

 

Trips me out going to Southern Cali and EVERYTHING looks like a damn tropical paradise.  Quit hogging the water man!

Always good to have a mower for weeds.

 

And the neighbors who party 'til 3am and need some mechanically launched rocks hurled at their cars.

Everything has it's faults, there's no such thing as a maintenance free landscape other than just letting crap grow wild! I have the crushed rock and desert plants landscaping in my front yard and that stuff is more work than grass! I have to go out and pull weeds out of that stuff all the time and it's really bad during monsoon season. Yes, there is landscaping cloth under the rock, but just enough dirt blows in around the rock during our spring winds to support the weeds. You can't mow them because of the rocks, so you have to pull them by hand. You can spray them with a chemical of some sort to kill them, but then you have dead brown weeds in your rocks.

Larry, don't forget how in a year or two the bigger weeds' roots bust right through the underlayer.  Then you have weeds and pieces of plastic/cloth sticking up.
