Apply for the Lawn Replacement Program & Save Water

At Resource Central, it’s our goal to make waterwise landscapes the norm in Colorado, and our innovative programs make it easy — adding up to major conservation impact. Replacing just 200 square feet of traditional grass with low-water plants can save about 15,400 gallons of water per yard every year!

Once you have decided which Resource Central Lawn Replacement program option is right for you, DIY or Lawn Removal Service, gather the materials needed for your application and submit the form below. After your application is received, our team will follow up to guide you through the next steps.
