My trip to desert gardens made me doubt the need for grass everywhere.

Most folks say a yard needs green grass to look good. I saw stunning rock and cactus setups that felt full of life. Why do we still push for lawns in dry places?

Totally get this. My one attempt at a cactus garden mostly attracted the neighborhood cats. Pretty sure my yard looked more like a litter box than a desert oasis.

Does cost stop people from ditching grass?

That "litter box" look might not be the cacti's fault. Cats are mostly drawn to low, soft plants like sedum, not spiky ones. They were probably just using any loose sand or dirt you put down.
