I'm a bit north of LA, but the country club golf course has never been greener ;-)
Joking aside, it does feel like people are trying to make a difference and conserve.
- byoung2 12y agoIn the last month, 3 of my neighbors have removed their lawns in favor of rockscape or mulch. LADWP is offering $3 per square foot if you remove your lawn, so that is encouraging people.

- jedberg 12y agoThey're doing that here in the bay area too. My question is, do I have to have grass to count as a lawn? I stopped watering my lawn the day I bought the house, so at this point it is just dirt. Can I still the the $3/sqft to put in turf?
- holychiz 12y agowhere can i can more info on this deal? I'm based in Mountain View and willing to stop this front lawn nonsense, especially if they'll pay me for it.

- jedberg 12y agoYep it sure can. They sent me a nastygram once so I watered for a week till they inspected and then stopped again. It's such a waste to water things that aren't edible. I was just ahead of the curve -- green is the new brown.
