FREE GUIDANCE, ONE-TIME PACKET
Rebate Concierge
Your city or water utility may pay you to replace turf with natives. The paperwork is where most people stall. The Rebate Concierge walks you through your specific program for free: curated steps, warnings before common disqualifying mistakes, and a photo locker for your receipts and documentation. On larger programs ($1,000 and up), a ready-to-file application packet is a one-time $29.99 purchase; smaller guided programs include it at no charge. Offered only on programs we have verified against the official program source.

- Can I cancel Pro?
- Yes. Pro is a subscription you can cancel any time. Cancelling stops future billing and Pro stays active through the end of the period you already paid for.

- Both. Pro is available through the iOS App Store, Google Play, and as a web subscription with card checkout at app.thepollinatorpatchgarden.com. Pricing is the same everywhere.
- Does paying for Pro guarantee HOA approval?
- No. Pro gives you plans and documents that use commonly accepted design cues so your yard reads as intentional and cared for. Every HOA has different rules, so always check your CC&Rs.
