How do I build a succulent garden in my front yard covered in grass?

I live in San Diego. I am looking for a diy project on replacing front yard (currently full of grass) with a succulent garden. Also I want to add roses below my living room window. I need some help with the following questions:

1) Best way for grass removal if time is a constraint.

2) Will a line of rose plants (roses in all colors) look good behind the succulent garden? Is that a wise decision to combine the two? Any examples/photos you could provide.

3) Once grass is removed, how do i make a succulent soil mix to put down in the same space to get it ready for succulents?

4) What kind of edging looks best with a succulent garden?

5) Once succulents are laid down should i use wood mulch or rocks to cover remaining ground?

6) How should i determine the watering schedule (how many times per week seasonally, drip irrigation or overhead watering) ?

Thank you
