RESIDENTIAL

Lawn to Garden Program: Residential

Ditch your thirsty grass!

Residents can get an incentive to replace grass turf in their front, back and side yards and replace it with a beautiful, water-wise garden. Many of the tips and strategies you’ll find on this site come from the experience of more than 3,000 homeowners that have successfully replaced grass lawns with beautiful landscapes.

And Long Beach Water is here to help you along the way, guiding you through the process and even making sure you’re successful after your project is finished.
