Go Native!

Whatever grasses grow natively in your area will need the least water and care. There may be a nursery near you that specializes in native plants where you can ask what works well.

I have a buffalo grass and blue grama lawn, because they grow naturally here (New Mexico) and only need watering to stay green if it's been a few weeks since the last rain. I had to plant the grass as seed and it is slow to establish, but no fertilizing and very little care otherwise.
