Water Savings

Your lawn is the thirstiest thing you own.

Slide in your lawn size and water rate to see what a designed turf conversion returns every year: in gallons, dollars, and rebates. Conservative math, shown in full.

From your bill: the per-HCF price in your upper tier (landscape water is almost always billed at the top of your tiers). Coastal North County typically runs $6–9.

$7.50/HCF

How we count

Coastal cool-season turf under spray irrigation drinks roughly 44 gallons per square foot per year; an established water-wise landscape on drip runs about 14. We use the difference (30 gallons) and your rate. Real usage varies with microclimate and how the old system was scheduled.

Turf-replacement rebates

$3,000 – $6,000

SoCal WaterSmart's turf-replacement rebate plus local agency add-ons have historically landed between $2 and $4 per square foot in San Diego County. Funding comes and goes in cycles and pre-approval is required before you remove anything. We handle the paperwork on Bradley projects.

A turf conversion done well isn't gravel and three succulents. It's a designed landscape that happens to sip instead of gulp.
