About the Grass Replacement + Program
West Basin continues to encourage residents to be SUPER-CALI-FRUGALISTIC every single day by removing water thirsty lawns and replacing them with beautiful climate-appropriate gardens.
The Grass Replacement+ program offers eligible residents an increased rebate of $5 for every square foot of grass replaced.
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).

How Do I Sign Up?
The Grass Replacement+ program is designed for priority neighborhoods in the service area (see Eligibility Requirements below) and builds off the existing Grass Replacement Rebate program’s available service area.
Apply for the SoCalWater$mart Rebate
*IMPORTANT: Do not begin any removal of grass until program eligibility is confirmed, program form is complete AND a rebate application is submitted via SoCal Water$mart. Beginning landscape construction before rebate pre-approval will disqualify the project. For more information, see project steps below.
Eligibility Requirements
Residents within the priority neighborhoods of the West Basin service area are eligible for the Grass Replacement+ program. This program provides additional resources for the adoption of climate appropriate gardens and increases tree canopy cover in neighborhoods in the service area disproportionately affected by environmental pollution, taking into consideration socioeconomic, public health, and environmental hazard criteria as defined by the California Environmental Protection Agency (CalEPA).
