How It Works

STEP 1: Take Photos

Take photos of the area where you plan to remove grass and irrigation to install your new WaterSaver garden bed. (Existing landscape beds are not eligible for this turf removal program.) The area should be at least 200 square feet. That's about the size of an average parking space.

STEP 2: Apply

Apply online for the $100 Coupon between March 1 and Oct. 15 and attach the photo you took of the location of your future garden bed. If the area is approved, you will receive a WaterSaver Landscape Coupon by email. SAWS residential customers can apply for up to four Landscape Coupons per year.

STEP 3: Remove Lawn and Sprinklers

Remove at least 200 square feet of grass per coupon. Remove any sprinklers within the area. No permanent irrigation is allowed in the new beds. Photograph any sprinkler heads, valves, drip lines or other irrigation components you remove to comply with the program requirements.

STEP 4: Shop and Get Gardening

Redeem your plant coupon at a participating vendor by Oct. 31. Select 15 plants in any combination. Then plant them to create a contiguous 200-square-foot garden bed. After you redeem your coupon, you will receive an email with a link to submit photos for inspection. Save that email.

STEP 5: Send Final Photos

Once you’ve completed planting 15 new plants in the new landscape bed, take photos of the completed installation. Use the Post Inspection link below in order to submit a Post Inspection form and provide your photos to SAWS. Post Inspection forms and photos are due by Nov. 15.

STEP 6: Conservation Review

Photos will be reviewed against program criteria. Participants not meeting the criteria for success will be contacted via email with ideas on how to make them successful. Until then they are ineligible for additional programs.

Removing Sprinkler Heads

WaterSaver landscapes must be irrigation-free. Got sprinklers? You’ll need to remove the irrigation components (sprinkler heads and drip lines) from the 200 square-foot area where you will install the new garden bed.

Review our Irrigation Design Rebate program requirements. If you believe you will be removing enough irrigation to qualify for an Irrigation Design Rebate, schedule an Irrigation Consultation to receive a rebate offer before you do any work.

To request an Irrigation Consultation, call 210-704-SAVE (7283). If you have a current rebate offer from a consultation within the past 12 months, let conservation staff know when you call.

Whether you are trying for an irrigation rebate or not, take multiple before-and-after pictures of your irrigation system components such as heads, valve boxes or other components. You will need to submit them to complete the coupon and qualify for any Irrigation Design Rebate offer.

What to Expect

Eligible customers will receive an email with their Landscape eCoupon(s) within two weeks. It will be sent to the email address provided in the application.

Customers who apply for multiple coupons will receive them in separate emails. Each coupon may only be used once with a single vendor. If you receive multiple coupons, you may use each one at different participating vendors.

Coupon covers only a portion of the costs at participating vendors.

You must purchase 15 plants from the approved WaterSaver Coupon list (no substitutions). Small plants must be purchased in 1 gallon containers and small trees in 5 gallon containers.

Redeem your eCoupons from your mobile device at participating stores by Oct. 31. A cashier will enter the store code on your mobile device to validate the coupon.

Note: You will be required to submit photos of your completed project in order to be eligible for more coupons or other conservation programs.
