Federal judge rules that government has a right to make a couple sick

grass without it being scorched within days in the heavy summer fryer heat, though I can put in a few plants at the back
of the spread that won't be killed and actually do hold up in such heat . . .

Gravel lawns are pretty much standard in Phoenix.  Easy care, as long as you remember to put pre-emergent down every year before the rainy season,
