How to Get the Landscape Transformation Assistance Program

What you get

An upfront discount, not a rebate: up to $750 off turfgrass removal services through Denver Water's partnership with Resource Central. The 2026 discounts have all been allocated and Resource Central has closed applications for 2026; its 2027 interest list is open. Program timing and availability can change from year to year.

• Residential: Up to $750 off turfgrass removal services (2026 fully allocated)

Are you eligible?

• Be a Denver Water customer
• Property located in: Denver
• Must be a Denver Water customer or a customer of a qualifying water provider
• Remove at least 200 square feet of turf and replace it with at least 50% water-wise plants
• Artificial turf does not qualify
• Join Resource Central's 2027 interest list for the next application window

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.

1. 1

   Apply and get written approval first

   Submit your application to Denver Water and wait for written approval before you remove any turf or start work. Starting early is the most common reason a rebate is denied.

2. 2

   Do the conversion

   Replace your lawn with the qualifying landscaping, following the eligibility requirements above.

3. 3

   Submit your claim

   After the work is done, submit your claim on the official program page. Confirm the exact forms, receipts, and any photos they require there, since those vary by program.
