Turf removal rebate help in Orange

Orange County homeowners can get a rebate for every square foot of lawn they replace, but the rules are strict. We help you understand them and plan a project that follows them.

Why people lose their rebate

One mistake can cost you the whole check

  • Removing grass before the application is approved
  • Not enough plant coverage for the square footage
  • Missing a required rain-capture feature
  • Leaving spray sprinklers in place instead of converting them
  • Using materials that don't qualify, like artificial turf
  • Missing photos or paperwork at the final inspection

“I would truly recommend All Environmental Design if you're looking at securing a turf rebate. Nick was aware of the strict requirements (rain feature, plants per square feet, etc.), and ensured that the design and execution would satisfy the requirements. I received my check a few days ago.”

Rebate questions

Turf rebate FAQs

How much is the turf removal rebate in Orange County?

It's paid per square foot of grass removed, and some local water agencies add extra. Amounts change, so we check the current rate for your address during your consultation. You can also see socalwatersmart.com.

Can I remove my grass before applying?

Usually not. Most programs require approval before you remove any grass. Removing it first is one of the most common ways people lose their rebate.

Do I have to hire you to install my landscape?

No. Our rebate consulting works on its own, whether you do the work yourself or hire someone else.

Does artificial turf qualify?

In most Orange County programs, no. Synthetic turf generally doesn't qualify. We'll help you choose plants and materials that do.

Do businesses and HOAs qualify too?

Yes. Commercial properties, campuses and HOAs have their own rebate programs. See our campus and commercial rebate consulting.
