Beyond the Water Bill

Why Chico yards are going grass-free

Lower bills, forever. Savings repeat every single year — most conversions pay for themselves and then keep paying you.
No mowing, no overseeding. Skip the Saturday mow, the winter rye seed, the fertilizer, and the sprinkler repairs.
Rebates may apply. Cal Water and state programs offer lawn-to-garden rebates that can offset your conversion cost — we'll help you check.
Built for this valley. California natives thrive in 100°+ summers, look sharp year-round, and support local birds and pollinators.
