Rocks and sand, that's all I'd expect to see for a yard there. You don't have to mow rocks and sand, actually, I think it'd be a really bad idea. Problem solved.
Old school artificial grass looked like crap; the new stuff is actually pretty darn good (it does get hot, though). I installed it myself and left some "natural curve" under the grass to give it a more real look. I've actually had a couple people tell me my grass looks so good it almost looked fake--that amused me.

Most yards here are just rock and sand...with some desert vegetation. We call it "Desert landscaping." I hate that look, but I love Arizona for damn near everything else.
