Turf is one of the most water-intensive plants in Southern California landscapes. Its high water needs and frequent maintenance requirements make it a time-consuming, expensive option.

If you choose to remove some of your irrigated turf to reduce your outdoor water use, you can receive $1 or more per square foot of removed turf to reward you for doing your part to save water in Southern California!

In order to be eligible for a rebate, the converted area must meet minimum requirements, including:

• Converted areas may not include any live turf and must be permeable to air and water. Weed barriers and hardscape must be permeable as well.
• Exposed soil must be covered with a minimum 2" layer to prevent erosion and retain soil moisture.
• No invasive plants are used.
• Consider planting a California Friendly® landscape using plants that are appropriate for the local climate and need minimal irrigation once established.
  

Rebates are available by reservation only. To receive your rebate:

1. Qualify through the pre-approval process, which includes an application, copy of your water bill, and submission of 4 to 5 photos of each area where turf will be removed.
2. After receiving a reservation, you must complete your turf removal project and submit your rebate request within 120 days.
3. Upon approval of the request, you will receive a rebate check. The turf removal project must not begin until you receive a reservation in order to be eligible for a rebate.
