In the arid landscape of Southern Nevada, water conservation isn’t just a buzzword—it’s a necessity. With the decline of Lake Mead, the main water source for the Las Vegas Valley, the region faces mounting challenges to ensure a sustainable future. That’s where the Southern Nevada Water Authority’s (SNWA) Grass Removal Rebate Program comes in. This innovative initiative rewards homeowners and businesses for making eco-conscious changes to their landscapes. Ready to turn your lawn into savings? Let’s explore how this program works, its benefits, and how Big Bully Turf can help you maximize your rebate.
What’s New in 2025?
As of 2025, SNWA has reduced the rebate for removing non-functional grass in commercial, multi-family, and HOA properties from $3 to $2 per square foot. Take advantage of the current program to transform your landscape and save on water costs.
Additional Incentives:
Tree Planting Rebates: SNWA now offers $100 per tree planted during a grass conversion project. This addition encourages homeowners and businesses to incorporate shade and biodiversity into their water-smart landscapes.
Who Qualifies for the SNWA Grass Removal Rebate?
Here’s the deal: If you’re a homeowner in the Las Vegas Valley Groundwater Basin, you can still earn up to $5 per square foot for the first 10,000 square feet of grass you replace, even in 2025. For areas beyond that, the rebate drops to $3.50 per square foot.
Eligibility requirements include:
- Your property must be within the Las Vegas Valley Groundwater Basin.
- You must use water from an SNWA agency or a groundwater well.
- The area must consist of maintained, living grass or a functional water feature that complies with rules when installed.
- The minimum project size is 400 square feet.
What Are the Requirements for the Rebate?
To qualify for the rebate:
- Your converted area must have at least 50% living plant cover when plants mature.
- You’ll need to include an efficient drip irrigation system and mulch.
For artificial turf projects, existing plants outside the converted area can help meet the 50% canopy coverage requirement. This flexibility allows you to achieve a lush, water-efficient landscape while enjoying the benefits of artificial turf.
