About the Program
The West Basin Grass Replacement+ program offers a free custom landscape design, a free drought-tolerant tree and additional assistance in applying for an increased rebate of $5 for every square foot of grass replaced with a drought-friendly garden. This program is designed for priority neighborhoods in the service area (see Eligibility below), and builds off the existing Grass Replacement Rebate program available service area wide.
Up to $25,000 per project is available to upgrade your landscape and remove up to 5,000 square feet of grass. A minimum of 250 square feet of grass must be replaced (for a rebate value of $1,250).
Landscape design and tree selection is provided with the support of TreePeople, an environmental organization that promotes sustainable urban ecosystems in greater Los Angeles.

Eligibility
