The multi-year drought has been hard on home landscapes. You’re probably eyeing unsightly grassy areas wishing for a solution.
Well, SAWS has one for you – and it doesn’t involve standing out there with a hose all summer!
Pause.
Prep.
Plant.
Pause spring and summer planting. Prep beds this summer. Then wait to plant in fall — AND get paid a $25 rebate for waiting!
This limited time program will help you save water this summer and enjoy planting in the fall when the weather is better.
Participation is simple:
- Select a 200 square foot section of struggling lawn to convert to a planting bed.
- Apply for our WaterSaver Landscape Coupon by June 20.
- Cut grass super close to the ground.
- Put down a layer of newspaper and cardboard.
- Apply 2 inches of mulch over the cardboard.
- Submit photos of your prepped bed by July 1.
If you complete the beds and upload photos by July 1, SAWS will credit $25 per coupon to your SAWS account in August. Then in September we’ll send your $125 coupons to buy plants for the new bed!
The new plants will have all fall, winter and spring to establish their roots before the heat of next summer.
