I have a fairly large lawn in Northern California as well. We enjoy it thoroughly. The kids and I play on it daily and camp on it as well. My water bill was about $170 last month but that was the peak. Most of the year it's under $100 and in the winter months it's about $20 per month (I did not irrigate for 4 months last winter). Not all of California is an overpopulated desert using imported water.
On the other hand, having a lawn at other times in my life did seem to just need to be mowed all the time and still looked bad.

- douche 10y agoSame here. I've almost been enjoying this drought this year, since I haven't had to mow my grass every week this summer - although I'm getting sick of watering the vegetable garden twice a day.
- StephenConnell 10y agoThat does sound nice though I am tied to California by family. I have a 10 min drive to my office, but I would like to move my office closer when possible.
