Not that many green grass lawns in the part of NM I was from (southwest Albuquerque), to the extent that my Iowan wife said, "Wait, no, rocks are not a front yard."

On the eastern side of Albuquerque, where the mountains help corral moisture and it actually rains, they're more likely to have standard suburban grass lawns -- but like I said, it rains there! So it's a lot easier to manage.
