That would be an interesting and exciting job. Sort of like being a Russian Roulette consultant.

I'm for anything that doesn't require mowing or weeding. Concrete is my favourite landscaping.
I see. So you are growing those feminine-looking, mutant beans.
I can't say that my typing is any better. I'm just glad there is an "edit" feature.
95% of them are harmless. Only bad one we have around here are Eastern Browns but they're very shy, most people get bitten trying to kill them so it's hard to blame the snake. Red bellies will make you wish you're dead but are not really deadly.
The examples I have seen use a lot of local sand, gravel and rock. The plants are native cacti and others that fit in and don't require much work to maintain.
I actually saw a show about landscaping in Phoenix where they had to scrap half of a yard decked out in native flora and stone and cut in a lawn due to the zoning requirements. It looked terrible and defeat the intent of setting it up in the first place.
They are interesting animals too. I like to look and not approach.
Yes. Let's.
Good night everybody.
Sleep well Mr Wabbit
Where did you hear that? I've been in Tucson for more than 40 years, and I've never heard of any law that requires people to have a lawn. Most people don't have lawns and there have been strict watering restrictions since forever.
Well I managed to wake up naturally at 4:40 am
I am laying in bed on my phone but I’m awake, does that count?
(trying to wake up at this time naturally because that’s the time I wake up for work, and I dread it every time I have to)

I certainly could be mistaken on the city, but it was one of those home restoration tv shows focusing on landscaping. The show started out on a landscaping project that was focused on the local ecology. Upon completion, the contractor had to remove half of it and replace it with a lawn to meet the local code. That stuck in my head as a strange notion to mandate given how much better and more effective a natural landscape is.
If Tucson is doing that, then more power to the city. And thank you for correcting me on that.
There are some desert cities which tend to be like that, although Tucson has always had water saving as an integral part of the local culture. Most of the homes and buildings use desert landscaping.
Lawns aren't banned here, so there are some people who still have them - although that may be changing at some point.
I like that sort of thing. It makes sense and doesn't rob resources to maintain a lawn in a desert. It also looks good to me.There are some desert cities which tend to be like that, although Tucson has always had water saving as an integral part of the local culture.

Government requires lawns there in order to use
up all that excess water in the Colorado River.
This has greatly reduced the risk of it overflowing
the Hoover Dam.

That makes a lot of sense. That is the sort of forward thinking we need to stop the ravages of that malevolent river and its continuing attempts to thwart progress.
