Landscape Design Assistance Program

The Landscape Design Assistance Rebate is for Department of Utilities customers, who are participants of the River Friendly program and replacing existing front yard turf (grass) with a water wise landscape. Participants agree to pay the City Approved Designer $150 for a 2-hour consultation at the time of services and will be reimbursed by City when the project is successfully completed.

In this program, City Approved Landscape Designers will help participants explore ideas and make recommendations on layout, plants and other features that may work for the front yard conversion. The 2-hour consultation will not be enough time for the designers to develop a detailed plan, but will provide enough time to discuss site issues, customer needs and develop general layout ideas and plant choices. Rebate will be paid after project completion.
