Get paid to replace your lawn!
The “Lawn Be Gone!” rebate program is now available for Burlingame residents. By transforming your water-intensive lawn into a water-efficient landscape, you can receive a rebate of $2 per square foot, up to $500 per household. Rebates are available on a first-come, first-serve basis to eligible applicants. Add a rain garden to your project and earn an additional $300 rebate! Check out this transformation example from Don, a Burlingame resident.

Water-efficient landscaping conserves water, is easy to maintain, and provides long-term benefits to the environment. For tips and inspiration, check out the “Water Wise Gardening” program here.
