Oh boy, I love this concept, so far we have only done this in the backyard. The front is next, we are waiting for the city to redo the road and put in the sidewalks before we do our landscaping.

In the backyard we used some decomposed granite (DG) for the path ways and did kill all the grass. It is a long hard job, but after you get it done, you will love the weed free/grass free no maintenance yard. Here is a section that has been done this way with mostly cactus and succulents that replaced the grass. We purchased a couple of tons of river rock too. This area is now almost one year old. I am dying to landscape the front in kind of the same way, but hopefully have a little more knowledge and expierence than this first try.
