Yard rebates in St. Louis Park

5 programs can pay St. Louis Park residents for yard projects: 4 run by the city, the county or the utilities and districts that serve it, and 1 open to anyone in Minnesota. The largest, Hennepin County Good Steward Grants, pays up to $25,000 per household. 2 ask for a plan or plant list before they approve a project.

Utility programs only apply to that utility’s customers, so check who supplies your water and power.
