Requirements

  • Apply and get approval before removing any lawn.
  • Mulch the converted area.
  • Remove the lawn sprinklers; water the new plants by drip on a separate valve (no spray heads).
  • Homeowners with Valley of the Moon water service; commercial buildings, government-owned dwellings and landscapes watered from a well don't qualify.
  • Call (707) 996-1037 for a pre-inspection first: the lawn must be green, mowed and irrigated. Finish within 120 days of approval and have the post-inspection in that window.
  • Replace the lawn with low-water plants or vegetable gardens with mulch; no pool, building extension or hardscape. Don't reinstall turf, or the rebate must be repaid.
  • Mail the application with original receipts for mulch and drip parts to Valley of the Moon Water District, PO Box 280, El Verano, CA 95433. Materials only; no labor.

Steps, in order

  2. Remove the lawn and plant to the requirements above.
  3. Send what the program page asks for once the work is done.
