The NatureScape Program requires that you remove a minimum of 250 square feet of turf grass from your property. However, grass removed from any area of your landscape will qualify for rebate funds.

You can transform a maximum of 5,000 square feet of your front, back, and side yards. Please indicate below which areas you are interested in the inspector evaluating. The additional areas selected are not a commitment at this stage. Your final decision on which landscape areas to transform will be made during the landscape assessment with the inspector.

Landscape areas that are not turf grass do not qualify for rebate funds, but can be included in your NatureScape design. Many customers prefer a complete landscape transformation. Please indicate if you want to transform grass areas only, or if you would additionally like to include planter beds and/or shrub areas as well.

Project Options

Potential rebate up to $599: You can replace your downspout(s) with a rain chain or simply redirect your downspout so rainwater flows to the rainwater retention feature. You may also choose to install a rain barrel to store water before it reaches the retention feature. The NatureScape program costs already include funding for a swale, which is considered a rainwater retention feature.

Potential rebate up to $1,000: You can direct your downspout to a cistern, which is a large rain barrel that can capture more rainwater.
