I'd like to get rid of my entire lawn or at least 85% of it! This is a very informative website if you are considering such a project!
I came across this great link:

Seems most of the yard designs are also drought (or at least heat) tolerant plantings and landscaping. If you click on the last line of each photo explanation, it will take you to another link that will explain how to get that look. A great site! Do check it out.
