IRVINE FRONT YARD TURF REBATE GARDEN

I love killing lawns.  I will design with lawn if it is adamantly desired, but I do enjoy proposing to kill them.  Drawing on paper what will go in their place.  Some drought tolerant (perhaps native) plants, a sustainability feature of some sort.  Definitely an energy efficient irrigation system.   

For this project in the city of Irvine, I did just that.  For budget reasons, we kept the existing hardscape but everything else was gone.  A few plants we kept.  The palette is a mostly native palette as the client already had two native Manzanitas that was kept.  

If you have turf that you would like to kill and take part in the rebate program then click here.  

LAKE FOREST TURF REBATE BACK YARD

This project was fun as I got to work with a lovely couple that wanted to transform their garden into a place to entertain and hangout.  They also wanted an area for their dog poppy to run around yet still have room to grow edibles.  

More explained in this video.  Enjoy!  

WHY TURF REBATE PROGRAM

If you live in Orange County and have an area or lawn you can get a rebate for transforming that space into a garden.  The Municipal Water District of Orange County is offering $3 per square foot of turf that you remove.  They are also offering a design rebate, where you get up to a $1000 of the designers fee rebated.  

In this video, I talk about the program and give you some details.  This program is great for anyone that is tired of having to maintain the lawn that in the end is a just a patch of green.  Why not take advantage of this rebate and create a garden for the local wildlife to enjoy with you.
