A small portion of the landscape was actually laid with sod - a landscaper suggested I try something called "no-mow grass." We haven't mowed it (since spring!) and it is holding up fine, and it doesn't use much water. On the other hand, it hasn't been walked on much either and probably isn't sturdy enough to stand up to regular foot traffic.

I thought about doing this, but opted for a traditional lawn since it's a place for my son and dog to play and use. I do feel guilty about the water usage during the long dry portion of the year, but I try to be responsible about it (my neighbors watering their lawns at noon drives me crazy).
