Frequently Asked Questions

Please reach us at eaglecountycd@gmail.com if you cannot find an answer to your question.

I want to rip out my turf without a landscape and irrigation evaluation. Do I still qualify for a rebate?

No, we require that anyone who wants to qualify for the rebate must have a landscape and irrigation evalutation done prior to ripping out one's lawn or planting any new landscapes.

If I plant drought-tolerant grasses, does that qualify for a rebate?

Most native grasses qualify for a rebate. If it is not native, please contact beyondlawn.ec@gmail.com. Common turf alternatives that we do not support are Clover, Fescue and Buffalo Grass.

I stopped watering my lawn years ago and my turf is already dead. Do I qualify for a rebate?

Yes! Revegetation is important to support a healthy ecosystem. We do ask, if you are able, to provide past water bills before you stopped watering your turf grass.

Will this rebate cover astroturf?

No, we will not provide any rebate for astroturf and highly recommend that all homeowners steer clear of this due to the environmental impact it has. Read here for more information: Why are artificial lawns bad for the environment?

Do I need to consider wildfire risk when redoing my yard?
