How to Get the Parkway Strip Lawn Conservation Rebate
City of Round Rock · Central Texas, TX
What you get
Rebate to help with the cost of converting the parkway strip (the area between the sidewalk and the street): removing the grass and converting the strip to hardscape or native plants, with the existing irrigation in that strip capped or converted to drip irrigation. The city describes this as an irrigation-focused conservation program, not a general turf removal rebate, and yards without an irrigation system in the parkway strip do not qualify. City resources include the WilcoScape native plant database for plant selection. (City of Round Rock conservation rebates page and Jessica Woods, Water Conservation Coordinator Senior, City of Round Rock, August 2026; last verified August 2026.)
