Design Rebate Program
Welcome to Smart Yards Co-op, your partner in creating sustainable and beautiful landscapes! We are thrilled to be a part of the Landscape Design Assistance Program offered by the Santa Clara Valley Water District. This initiative aims to support homeowners like you in transforming high-water using front lawns into water-wise, eco-friendly and visually appealing spaces.
Program Overview
The Landscape Design Assistance Program provides up to two hours of consultation with a professional landscape designer to discuss ideas and recommendations for your front yard lawn conversion project. Here's how it works:
