Hopefully it’s not just California where this takes hold. The idea that a green lawn is a requirement should be dead by now. Even in Florida I spend way too much watering this !@#$& St. Augustine grass. Would love to let the whole thing go native.

Doesn’t the frequent afternoon pop_up thundershowers in Fl supply sufficient moisture to the lawns whereas Ca gets like near zero chances of any rain in summer.

I’ve lived in North Central Florida for ten years and never watered my lawn once. Except for the rare drought, we get enough rain for my St Augustine to thrive.
