Fresno residents looking to save water and beautify their yards may now qualify for more financial help from the city. The City of Fresno has expanded its “Lawn to Garden Rebate Program,” offering increased incentives for homeowners and businesses that replace traditional lawns with drought-tolerant landscaping. The program, which began in 2015, is designed to reduce water use and promote sustainable gardening practices. Thanks to a $5 million grant, the city has increased its rebate to $2 per square foot-up to 1,500 square feet for residential properties and up to 4,000 square feet for commercial properties. That means homeowners can receive up to $3,000, while businesses may qualify for as much as $8,000.
