If you have already removed your grass/turf, your project will not be eligible for the Program. Additionally, artificial/synthetic turf is not eligible for a rebate.
Every turf replacement project must include:

“The goal of the Landscape Design Assistance Program (Design Program) is to help Landscape Conversion Rebate applicants develop ideas to transform their high-water using front lawns into beautiful, California-friendly landscapes. The Landscape Design Assistance Program provides a consultation of up to 2 hours with a professional landscape designer (Designer) for proposed front yard lawn conversion projects. Applicants pay their chosen pre-approved Designer a $200 fee at the time of service and are reimbursed by Valley Water when their Landscape Conversion project is successfully completed according to the Landscape Conversion Rebate requirements.
*Please note, this is an onsite consultation only and not a full landscape design. * Applicants will not receive a scaled landscape plan, full plant list, or additional follow-up documents from the Designer; however, the Designer will help applicants explore sustainable landscape ideas and make verbal recommendations on layout, plants, and other features that may work for front yards across Santa Clara County. Applicants should be prepared to take notes during the consultation. During the consultation, the customer can expect the designer to provide:

Everywhere in the state, work with us! We can design native and drought tolerant landscaping that meet the requirements for your area’s rebates, and help with the rebate application.
Find rebates available in your area
First, sumbit an application online. The water company will then schedule an appointment.
We have assisted many homeowners across the state in applying for and receiving the Landscape Conversion Rebate. For a small fee of $250, we can submit the application on your behalf and handle all the paperwork.
When the time comes, a company representative will show up at where the lawn is.
He/she will check every area of lawn on your property, decide which one qualifies for receiving the rebates, and make the measurements. At the end, they will hand you a paper document indicating the areas that qualify, and their sizes, which the rebates will be based upon.
After the pre-inspection, if you have at least one area that qualifies for the rebate, you have a certain period of time to submit the design and complate the project, to receive the rebate. At this point, you need to submit the design and plants planned to go in the garden.
If you have purchased our design services and Design Assistance package($250), we can submit the design and all required documents to the rebate program on your behalf once the design is completed.
After the water company reviews the designs and other submitted information, they will issue a Notice to Proceed if everything meets the requirements.
At this point, the project can begin. If you purchased our Installation Assistance Package, we can assist in sourcing and ordering all the plants (the cost of the plants will be billed separately). Additionally, we can recommend contractors, coordinate schedules, and provide consultations to the contractor. If you decide to do it yourself, we can offer guidance and support throughout the process.
If the inspection is deemed satisfactory, the program will inform you, and start to process a check. Usually it takes 4-8 weeks for the check to be processed and delivered. After the project is completed, the water company will be notified, and they will contact you for a post-inspection. This inspection can either be self-guided, requiring only photos of the garden and some documents, or the water company may send someone to do an in-person inspection.
If you have purchased our Rebate Assistance package, we will take all the necessary photos and submit the required project information on your behalf.
If the inspection is deemed satisfactory…
