Legal Question in Landlord & Tenant Law in California

We have been renting a single family residence in Los Angeles for 16 years. Our initial lease stated that we would water and the landlord would provide mow and blow guys. After years of having the mow and blow crew destroy things, we told the landlord that we would prefer to do it ourselves. We have done so for a number of years. Recently, the landlord came and had the entire yard removed and plans to install rock throughout ostensibly so that we don't have to water.

I remember hearing years ago that there was a law in California stating that if a tenant pays for irrigation for some number of years, they derive some claim on ownership thereby. Is that true? Just trying to figure out what has caused this unpleasant change? The house is now unbearably hot without any shade.
