Native Landscaping Across Texas

Multiple rebate programs available through Austin Water and LCRA

Austin sits at the crossroads of the Edwards Plateau and Blackland Prairies — giving homeowners access to a rich palette of drought-adapted native plants. The city actively encourages lawn-to-native conversion through rebate programs.

Up to $3,000 total through LCRA WaterSmart

Cedar Park residents can access LCRA WaterSmart rebates — recently increased to up to $2,000 for turf conversion and $3,000 total per property. The city sits on the Edwards Plateau, making it well-suited for drought-tolerant native landscaping.

No dedicated rebate yet — design tips available
