Fort Collins Utilities and the City of Loveland both pay rebates for qualifying turf conversions — we design to the rebate specs and hand you the completed paperwork. Most clients see water use drop 40–60% the first summer.

Common Questions About Xeriscape & Water-Wise Conversions
How much water does xeriscaping actually save?
Most GreenPath conversion clients see water use drop 40–60% the first summer. Bluegrass lawn is the thirstiest thing in a Colorado yard, so replacing even part of it with natives on drip irrigation makes a visible difference on the utility bill.
Does Fort Collins pay a rebate for removing my lawn?
Yes — Fort Collins Utilities and the City of Loveland both offer rebates for qualifying turf conversions. We design to the rebate specs and hand you the completed paperwork, so you capture the incentive without wrestling the application yourself.
Will a xeriscaped yard look like gravel and cactus?
Not the way we do it. A well-designed xeriscape is often the most colorful yard on the block — waves of penstemon, salvia, blue grama, and rabbitbrush that bloom across the season. Gravel-and-cactus is what happens without a designer, not what xeriscape means.
