Why we publish per-city rebate data

Southern California water agencies may help homeowners and HOAs convert lawn to water-wise landscape, install smart irrigation, and adopt water-saving fixtures. The eligibility is specific, and program funding can change.

We prepare the paperwork as part of every qualifying project — at no separate fee. Use the calculator below as a rough planning estimate, then we'll give you a project-specific rebate plan during the Eden Consultation.

How we handle rebate paperwork

Pre-project rebate audit — identify all programs the project qualifies for
Pre-approval submission — applications submitted BEFORE work starts (most programs require this)
Documentation during build — photographic + receipt-level documentation for verification
Post-build submission — final paperwork submitted within program window
Tracking + follow-up — we track each rebate to disbursement

Realistic expectations

Treat rebate planning as a support layer, not a guaranteed project discount. The right number depends on active agency funding, property eligibility, pre-approval timing, and whether the final installed scope matches program rules.
