What is the Southern California Turf Rebate?

The Turf Replacement Program provides financial incentives for residential and commercial customers to replace traditional turf grass with water-efficient alternatives. By replacing grass with plants suited to the arid climate of California, the program conserves water and encourages sustainable landscaping practices. The rebate program also supports the installation of a water-efficient irrigation system and rain barrels to further reduce water waste and ensure proper irrigation for drought-tolerant plants.

For qualifying projects, the Metropolitan Water District offers a base rebate amount per square foot of turf removed, with additional funding options based on the location and features of the completed project. This rebate helps offset costs for homeowners and businesses, making it easier to invest in eco-friendly outdoor transformations.

Benefits of Turf Replacement

Conserve Water, Reduce Costs: The Turf Replacement Program significantly reduces water consumption by replacing water-intensive turf grass with plants that thrive on less water. Rebate amounts per square foot of turf removed provide financial relief while promoting water conservation and lowering water bills.

Upgrade to Efficient Irrigation Systems: Turf replacement projects often include the installation of a water-efficient irrigation system, such as drip irrigation, that delivers water precisely where it is needed. This eliminates waste associated with overhead spray sprinklers and supports healthy, sustainable plant growth.

Create a Low-Maintenance Landscape: Replacing traditional turf grass with drought-tolerant landscaping requires less maintenance, saving time and money on lawn care. A water-efficient landscape also helps reduce the need for synthetic turf, creating a natural, vibrant outdoor environment that thrives in the climate of Southern California.

Support a Greener Community: The turf replacement rebate promotes eco-friendly landscaping that conserves water and aligns with the conservation goals of Southern California. When more residents and businesses embrace water-efficient landscapes, the entire community benefits from reduced water demand and a healthier ecosystem.
