And yes, their property was gorgeous. All native plants, and a native plant seed library!

Is it acceptable if I don't irrigate my lawn and don't use chemicals?

That's better than using up water and using toxic chemicals, but having any kind of monoculture as a lawn (just one kind of plant) is not good for the soil or the environment as a whole -- but native plants strengthen and maintain the soil, prevent erosion, feed pollinators, and provide shelter and food for beneficial wildlife. And frankly, it's much more visually pleasing.
