Residential Turf Replacement Program Form

In order to qualify for rebate, an application must be submitted, reviewed, and approved by Highlands Ranch Water before a project can begin, as outlined in our program requirements. If you have already started or completed your project, it is not eligible for rebate.

Due to the high volume of applicants, response times may be delayed. Applications are processed in the order they are received. Thank you.

Program requirements 
  • All landscape conversions must first be approved by the Highlands Ranch Community Association (HRCA) or the Solstice Architectural Control Committee (SACC).
  • Rebates are not retroactive.
  • Projects must be converting a minimum of 250 square feet to qualify for rebate, with a maximum of 2,000 square feet eligible for rebate.
  • Areas must contain at least 50%  healthy, irrigated turf. A percentage of landscape area will be deducted for dead, declining or unhealthy turf areas.
  • Applications are accepted Mar. 1 through Oct. 1.
  • All landscape conversions must be completed by Nov. 1 of the current program year.
  • An initial site inspection and a final inspection will be scheduled with you by the program administrator.
  • An online application must be submitted before a landscape conversion can begin. A project without an initial site inspection by a representative of Highlands Ranch Water, regardless of HRCA or SACC approval, will not be eligible for a rebate.
  • Plant material must cover at least 75% of converted area at mature size if installing ColoradoScape. Projects that do not meet this criteria will not be eligible for the maximum rebate.
  • Irrigation in the converted area must be removed or redesigned to appropriately meet the water needs of the new plant material. New plant material must be watered separately from turf grass.
  • Participants will not receive additional water budget for the establishment of new plant materials. Please contact program administrator for suggested irrigation schedules during establishment period.  
  • Applications are processed in the order received and rebates are distributed on a first-come, first-served basis. Funding is limited. Only one rebate per customer per season.
  • All expenses are the responsibility of the applicant.
  • Rebates will be sent upon final approval and completion of the project.
  • By accepting a rebate, you acknowledge that your water usage prior and post program participation will be monitored by the program administrator. This is for the purpose of quantifying program outcomes only.
