Yeah I share the house with the in laws so dont have complete control.
My mother in law wanted turf installed in the front after we installed a fence to keep anyone from parking on the yard (father in law) but it was way too expensive for the nice stuff,so father in law came in quick and had some guys install a lawn for cheap.
He was excited for a lawn since the start, on move in day he got two lawn mowers even though it was all dirt.
At least I was able to get a big barrel and water pump so showed them how to use laundry water to water the lawn so we haven’t actually had to use the sprinklers at all so far. I’ve been wanting to find something that I could sprinkle seeds around to get it to be more California summer resistant. At least the kids really like it, and the dogs go nuts when we hangout in the front with them because they can run along side anyone that walks by sniffing their butts
Fair enough. If your house has the water heater far from the bathroom you can also collect a few gallons of the “waiting for hot water” at the tub spout. I don’t have a yard but I have a big balcony garden using that water. Maybe do native flowers around the edges since FIL will mow short anything on his turf
