Water-wise yard bonus
Turf replacement rebate guide for Inland Empire landscape projects
Before replacing lawn with rock, DG, mulch, and drought-tolerant planting areas, check whether your water district, city utility, or regional program may help offset part of the project cost.
Metropolitan/SoCal WaterSmart residential rebates commonly start at $2 per square foot and may include local add-ons.
Some Inland Empire water districts list higher local incentives for qualifying residential, commercial, HOA, or public agency projects.
Several programs also advertise tree rebates or irrigation-related incentives when combined with approved turf replacement work.
How to use the guide
Do the rebate work first.
Landscape Rock Direct can help with material selection and delivery, but the rebate application, approval, inspection, and payment come from the official program administrator. Program amounts and rules can change without notice.
Find your water provider
Rebates are tied to the water agency serving the property. Check the address through SoCal WaterSmart or the local provider before planning the budget.
Apply before work starts
Many turf programs require project start approval before grass is removed. Work completed before approval may be ineligible.
Plan a water-wise conversion
Programs commonly require climate-appropriate plants, irrigation changes, permeable areas, and no synthetic turf.
Order materials after approval
Once the rebate reservation is approved, choose DG, rock, mulch, soil, and other materials that fit the approved design.
