Why Valley properties are converting
Overseeded Bermuda grass in the low desert needs more than 55 inches of irrigation a year, while a desert landscape needs under 18, according to the University of Arizona. Several Valley cities offer rebates for removing non-functional turf, but most require approval before any grass comes out. The best conversions keep the grass people actually use for play, gathering and pets, and convert streetscapes, slopes and decorative areas.

How much water does turf conversion save?
Roughly 23 to 50 gallons per square foot per year, depending on how the grass is watered today. Our free water savings calculator estimates it for your property.
Are there rebates for removing grass in Phoenix-area cities?
Several Valley cities offer turf removal or landscape conversion rebates for HOAs and businesses. Terms change, so always confirm with your city and get approval before removing any grass. Our rebate guide links to each city's program.
Will a xeriscape conversion look like bare gravel?
Not when it's designed well. Shade trees, layered desert plants, boulders and decomposed granite give a finished look that holds up in the heat.
What happens to trees that were watered by the lawn?
We add drip irrigation for existing trees before the turf irrigation is turned off, so they don't lose their water supply.
Can you convert our grass in phases?
Yes. Many HOAs convert one area per budget year, starting with the turf that uses the most water and gets the least use.
