Georgia Rebates
Georgia Native Landscaping Rebates
Georgia's water conservation programs focus on education and indoor efficiency. There is no statewide turf replacement rebate as of May 2026. With most of the state in drought, native plants are a practical choice even without a rebate. They require no supplemental watering once established. Contact your local utility or UGA Extension office for any new programs.

How to apply for Georgia rebates
- 1.Apply for pre-approval before you start. Starting work first is the most common reason applications get denied.
- 2.Take before photos of the area you plan to convert, then matching after photos from the same angles once the work is done.
- 3.Apply early in the fiscal year. Many programs are first-come, first-served. Each program below links to the provider for current rules. See our step-by-step lawn replacement guide.
