Las Vegas pays residents to get rid of their lawns... Saves A LOT of water...

It is the water district that pays for removal of lawns. I took 2/3 of
my lawn out and they sent me a check. Just followed the rules, etc.

I now only have about 300 s.f. of turf for my African hound dog to
use. It's been a very successful program.

rebate of up to $1.50 per square foot of grass converted to
xeriscape."
