My grandparents used to live in Escondido, and everyone in their neighborhood (near the country club) filled their yards (front and back!) with that icky white rock or lava rock. I was told that most of the residents were old folks who wanted maintenance-free yards. In contrast, in my neighborhood (http://www.outsidelands.org/sunset.html) people paint their driveways green to simulate a front yard. :roll:
