Work through this before you book
Water providers in the valley offer different programs, with different rules, and they change. Check with your city for what applies to you. These are the steps we work through with every homeowner.
- 01
Step 1: Find who bills your water
Usually your city's water department. In some neighborhoods it is a private water company. The name is at the top of your bill.
- 02
Step 2: Measure the grass you want out
Length times width, in square feet, for each patch. We measure again at the walk-through, but your own number helps you read the rules.
- 03
Step 3: Read the program rules
Look for a minimum area, a plant or ground-cover rule, a before-and-after photo step and a deadline. Many programs ask you to apply before any work starts. Check with your city for what applies to you.
- 04
Step 4: Get our written estimate
It lists what comes out, what goes in and what the drip system covers, so you can attach it if your program asks for a scope.
- 05
Step 5: Apply, wait, then we start
Approval takes as long as your program takes. We put the job on the calendar when you tell us you're cleared.

We can
Measure the grass and write down the square feet
Write a scope with the plants, the ground cover and the irrigation
Take before and after photos on request
Tell you what our estimate can't answer: approval, amount and timing belong to your provider

Rebate questions
Does a rebate cover the whole job?
Usually not, and some programs pay for part of the area only. Your provider sets the limits, so check with your city.
Do I keep the grass until I'm approved?
Many programs ask you to. Read your program's rules, and tell us the date you're cleared to start.
What if my city has no program?
The yard still works without one. Some water providers have no landscape program, and others have closed theirs. We give you the same written scope either way.
