Lawn-to-Garden (Turf Replacement Program)
The Manteca Public Works Department pays an incentive of $1.00 per square foot when a grass lawn is replaced with a beautiful water-efficient landscape suited to our region’s semi-arid climate. Restrictions apply, so be sure to read the Terms and Conditions, and the Design Requirements (see links below) for more information.
There are a few highlights of the program:
L2G program only applies to front yards and parkways
The maximum incentive payment is $650 for residential or 5,000 square feet for commercial
If you remove your grass lawn before your design is approved, you will not qualify for the incentive
