I was going to put it in the backyard

You could put plastic grass in some areas of the backyard and drought tolerant landscaping in the others. Throw in some citrus trees, palm trees and a water feature and it'll look like paradise or a Palm Springs golf course. Citrus trees take a lot of water so if you don't want to go that route I think Palo Verde trees are really pretty. Red Bird of Paradise is something that is drought tolerant, but looks tropical.
My parents live in the Phoenix area and the fake grass out there gets very hot in the summertime, but it's 115 there daily.

Have fun and congratulations!
