How to Get the Eco-Friendly Lawn Conversion Rebate

What you get

City supplement of $0.50 per square foot of converted lawn ($0.75 per square foot for dedicated-irrigation-meter customers), capped at 50% of material cost up to $575 for single-family residential. Stacks with the Zone 7 Water Agency lawn-conversion rebate ($2/sq ft, up to $3,000) already in the directory, so Pleasanton residents can combine both. Requires pre-approval (City of Pleasanton; last verified June 2026).

• Residential: $0.50/sq ft (mixed meter) or $0.75/sq ft (dedicated irrigation meter); up to $575 residential (50% of material cost)

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 City of Pleasanton 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.
