Succulent Garden Before & Now

I am mostly a lurker here, and I like going though all of the pictures posted on this forum and other forums. I'd like to share a couple of pictures of the transformation of my yard from a lawn to a drought tolerant garden. The main reason for the transformation has been to conserve water, so all of the plant material that has replaced the lawn is drought resistant (some of the pre-existing plants are not.) I've been using both California natives and plants native to areas with similar climates, such as the northwest of Mexico, Central Chile and Argentina, Southern Africa, The interior and West of Australia and the Mediterranean region. I'm kind of going for a Tuscan/Mediterranean look with a tropical twist. It's still a work in progress and a lot of the plants are still very young, but here they go anyway:
