lawn alternative

I live in a suburban neighborhood 20 miles north of San Francisco,
California.  My front and back yards consist primarily of lawn.  I
really can't stand the water hungry things, but have never seen an
alternative that can still be walked upon and has a similar low-grow
look.  I've heard of lots of alternatives but have never actually seen
one in place that is used similarly to a lawn, to give that sense of
green negative space to a landscape.  Has anyone had experience
replacing a hungry lawn with an alternative--successfully?  Chamomille
perhaps? I'd love to hear some true-life stories and see some pictures,
or better yet see the real thing.
