Before you start
Do not remove turf or begin work before you have written approval. This program requires pre-approval. Starting early can disqualify the project even if everything else is correct.
What applying usually looks like
A general guide. Always confirm the exact steps on the official program page, since each provider runs its process a little differently.

Apply and get written approval first
Submit your application to City of Avondale and wait for written approval before you remove any turf or start work. Starting early is the most common reason a rebate is denied.
