Check what your lawn rebate could cover before you apply.

1. Free rebate check.

Answer water agency, current lawn, timing, photo, water-bill, square-footage, and project-goal questions.

2. Rebate and readiness summary.

See program assumptions, a rough rebate range, possible approval issues, missing photo or document items, and next steps.

3. Optional $49 instant checklist or $149 reviewed checklist.

Turn your answers into a practical checklist before you remove grass, submit through an official portal, or talk to a contractor.

4. Optional project referrals.

After the check, you can request introductions to independent designers, landscapers, irrigation specialists, or other turf conversion professionals.
