Lawn areas of a landscape have the highest water demand areas and take the most irrigation compared to other ornamental plants in residential and commercial landscapes. Under this lawn replacement program, lawn areas anywhere in your yard can be removed and replaced with low-water landscaping to qualify for an incentive. This is not a rebate program, but rather an incentive to assist you in the cost of re-landscaping to be more water efficient.
Weber Basin’s Landscape Lawn Exchange program is intended to remove lawn and replace it with low-water landscape materials including plants, to create attractive, low-water alternatives to grass areas. The incentive for this program will be $2.50 per square foot for any area in your yard that is currently grass lawn that is removed and replaced with a more water-efficient alternative. Program participants will apply for the program using the mywater.weberbasin.gov website. The application must be completed in full and District staff will review applications as they come in to approve participation in the program. Application must be approved before removing the lawn and starting the program.
City of North Salt Lake residents are eligible to in the Landscape Lawn Exchange rebate program (including "Flip Your Strip") offered and administered by Weber Basin Water Conservancy District.
Please refer to the WEBER BASIN website for information, and make sure you do NOT begin the process of removing grass or starting your project before applying, or you may be ineligible. LAWN EXCHANGE REBATE INFORMATION
