Lawn replacement rebates in Utah
12 programs in Utah pay residents for lawn replacement. 11 list themselves as open now, and the per-square-foot programs pay a median of $3 per square foot. 50% ask for a plan, sketch or plant list before they approve a project.
Water utilities in dry states pay residents to take out lawn and replant with low-water plants, usually by the square foot. Almost all of them want an application approved before any grass comes out, and most ban artificial turf.
