Requirements

  • Apply and get approval before removing any lawn.
  • A pre-inspection comes first, with a sketch or design of the new landscape: call (909) 875-1804 to schedule it. Finish within 6 months of approval, then schedule the final inspection.
  • At least 500 sq ft, unless the lot is under 4,500 sq ft. The project must meet your city and county landscape ordinances.
  • At least 33% living plant cover at maturity, except where artificial turf is used. Cover the whole area with a layer permeable to air and water: rock, bark, un-grouted flagstone or pavers, or permeable artificial turf; no concrete.
  • The rebate pays back itemized, dated receipts and never more than the purchase amount; a W-9 is needed for $600 or more. Keep the landscape for as long as you own the property.

  1. Apply on West Valley Water District’s site and wait for approval. Lawn removed before approval usually does not qualify.
  2. Remove the lawn and plant to the requirements above.
  3. Send what the program page asks for once the work is done.
