We did it @ our last home (a small, in town lot) & couldn't have been happier!!!! We got rid of the lawnmower, the weed eater & the edger. No gas to get, no noise, no weed eater string to buy & more storage room without those items.
We did the entire yard Xeriscape. I wish we could do it here but we now have 6 acres. Impossible.
We did not do lasagne b/c we didn't know about lasagne then & we needed to bring the soil level down some so we dug out about 2" of the soil (sand) & then used mulch.
You can see what we did here:

We ended up not building on the 5 ac. & buying a house already existing on 6 ac.
