Step one, have lots of money

And time. And energy!

Imagine having that much land to work with.

Some of these concepts could be applied to a smaller lot, the biggest hurdle would be the rampant draconian HOA's that would have an aneurysm if this stuff was applied.

this is my dream right here. my wife and i bought a "fixer upper" with bare dirt in USDA zone 6b/7a, and i dream of doing this. thanks for sharing!

Wish I could do this where I live, but that lot would cost a fortune.

I don't think my HOA would allow this...

I wonder what the water bills are like?

Less than the same area of lawn.

Seriously. Judging by the before and after photos in the cover image, I'd wager that luscious paradise on the right with tons of shade uses less than half the water of the green hellscape from before.

I love how lush and vibrant it looks. As a tall person, I hate that it looks impossible to actually walk down the sidewalk.

This comes across as halfway between an ad and showboating.
