Removing grass is one of the most water conscious adjustments a homeowner can make to reduce their water usage and associated costs. A well-designed SpokaneScape will beautify your property, protect our natural resources and the environment; and will inevitably reduce yard maintenance. City of Spokane Water customers can earn up to a $500 credit towards their utility bill after removing lawn and replacing it with water wise plants and mulch.

Here's what your SpokaneScape Lawn Replacement project should include:

  • Drought Tolerant Plants that cover half of the project area at maturity.
  • Bark or Rock Mulch covering all exposed soil.
  • A replacement or modification of overhead spray sprinklers to a more water efficient irrigation system.
  • Permeable hardscapes that allow water to flow through the surface and slowly filter into the ground.
