    Plan a low-water-use desert landscape to replace the grass. Up to 1,500 square feet counts toward the residential rebate at $1.50 per square foot.

  3. 3

    Install and document

    After approval, remove the grass, install the new landscaping, take after photos, and keep itemized receipts.

  4. 4

    Submit and get paid

    Send your after photos and receipts to Gilbert to receive up to $2,000 plus the $1,000 incentive (or up to $30,000 for non-residential properties).

Gilbert reserves funds when you apply, so apply before you start. The before-photo and pre-approval steps are what trip most people up.
