Water-smart landscapes
Take the grass out in the right order.
Yards for homes and HOAs across the Las Vegas valley. We start with your water authority's rebate steps, so no grass comes out before it should.
Rebate steps
Six steps from lawn to inspection
The Southern Nevada Water Authority runs the valley's turf rebate, and its rules set the order. Read its current program page before you book: rules, limits and amounts change.
- 01You
Read the program page
Read who qualifies, what counts as turf, and what must happen before work starts.
- 02Us
Measure and photograph
We measure the grass, find the valves and photograph what is there, because the application asks for it.
- 03Us
Get the scope in writing
Square feet, materials and plants on one page you can attach where a plan is asked for.
- 04You
Apply and wait
Many programs want a go-ahead before grass comes out. The application is yours to file.
- 05Us
Build the yard
Grass out, old sprinklers converted to drip, rock and plants in. We photograph each stage.
- 06Water authority
Inspection and paperwork
The authority checks the finished yard. We hand you the file to send what it asks for.
What we build
Yards that use less water and still look planted
Rock and dry creek beds
Gravel, boulders and dry creek beds that carry water off the yard.
See the work
HOAs and common areas
Entries, medians and slopes written up so a board can approve them one by one.

How pricing works
How we set the price of a yard
We don't quote from a photo. The number comes after the walk-through, in writing.
What decides the price
Mostly how much ground we touch and what goes back in. Two yards of the same size can land far apart.
Square feet of grass coming out
Slope, gates and truck access
Rock depth, boulders and edging
Plant count and size
What the estimate includes, and what it doesn't
A written scope you can read line by line. It is the scope we build, not the rebate.
Included: measurements, what comes out, what goes in, plant list, irrigation changes, haul-off
Not included: permits or HOA fees unless listed
Not included: the rebate, which comes from the water authority
What happens at the visit
Someone from the crew walks the yard with you, measures, finds the valves and photographs the lawn. We note what you want to keep.
How and when you pay
The estimate shows the payment stages beside the scope. Ask which methods we take; the owner fills this line in.
If the job changes
If you change the scope, the estimate changes with it, and we tell you before we start the new work.
When you get the number
After the walk-through, in writing, as one price for the scope on the page.

What owners and boards wrote
“Aurelio showed me where the water authority wants the before photos taken. I sent them with the written scope and nobody asked me to guess.”
Rosalva G.Henderson
“Our board got one scope with the entry, the median and the clubhouse sides as separate lines. We could approve them one at a time.”
Mason W.HOA board member, Summerlin
“They explained that the planting holes had to be drilled through the caliche. It was the first time anyone told me why my last plants died.”

Questions
Before you send the form
Do you file the rebate application for me?
No. The application is tied to your water account, so it is yours to file. We give you the measurements, photos and written scope the program asks for.
Will a rebate cover the job?
We can't say, and only the water authority can. Rules, limits and amounts change. We plan the job so it still makes sense if you are not approved.
Do you speak Spanish?
Yes. Leonor and Aurelio do, and every page of this site has a Spanish version. Say so when you call or fill in the form.
Are you licensed and insured?
Our Nevada contractor license is in the footer of every page, with a link to the state's lookup. Ask us for an insurance certificate and we will send it.
When is the best time to plant?
Many desert plants settle in best from fall to early spring. Summer is mostly for taking grass out and building paths, rock and edging.
What happens to my old sprinklers?
Many yards keep the pipes and change the lines to drip. We check the zones at the walk-through, and the estimate says what stays, what changes and what comes out.
Send your yard details, or message us a photo
Three short steps on this page, or a photo of the lawn on WhatsApp. Either one reaches the same person.
