Yes, in order to qualify for our lawn-to-garden rebate, at minimum, three approved low-water-use plants per 100 square feet of the converted project area must be added to the landscape and must contain low-water-use, climate-appropriate, native, and non-invasive plants. Artificial turf does not qualify.
For a searchable list of approved plants in your climate zone, you can access the Conservation Programs and Rebates Portal and click the “Eligible Plants” button under the Lawn-to-garden (turf replacement) rebate program.
