Las Vegas Landscape Transformation | Save Water, Save Money with a Water Smart Landscaper

This Las Vegas property was transformed into a water smart and visually striking outdoor space with help from the Southern Nevada Water Authority (SNWA) Water Smart Landscapes Rebate Program. Our team, led by Victor, removed and replaced the existing grass with a low maintenance desert design that significantly supports reducing water use across nearly 10,000 square foot of landscape.

By converting traditional turf to water efficient materials and drip irrigation, the homeowner qualified for an SNWA rebate while gaining a modern, sustainable yard built for Las Vegas living.

Sun Valley Landscaping partnered with the homeowner to complete a full landscape conversion under the SNWA grass rebate program. The original lawn required frequent watering and ongoing maintenance, making it expensive to keep healthy in the desert climate.

The turf was removed and replaced with approved water smart materials that meet SNWA guidelines for conversion areas. The finished landscape delivers long term water savings while enhancing curb appeal and usability. This type of project is ideal for single family homes and is also commonly completed for businesses HOAs looking to control water costs and meet conservation goals.

Key Features:

Urban 6×9 Pavers in Mirage Color: These pavers create clean, structured walkways and seating areas throughout the yard. The Mirage color adds warmth while blending naturally with the surrounding desert elements. The paver layout supports proper drainage and complies with SNWA conversion area requirements.

Deluxe 80 Artificial Turf: This premium artificial turf provides a lush, natural look without irrigation, mowing, or chemicals. It is soft underfoot, safe for kids and pets, and stays green year round. Artificial turf plays a key role in reducing water use while maintaining usable outdoor space.

Rebel Red Decorative Rock (Multiple Sizes): We used a combination of ½”, ¾”, and 2″ to 4″ rebel red rock to add bold contrast and texture throughout the landscape. These rich tones pop against the greenery and help retain soil moisture. These stones complement the artificial turf, aid moisture retention, and contribute to overall landscape conversion compliance.

New Irrigation Valves and Drip Irrigation: Even in low water landscapes, drip irrigation is essential for live plants. New valves and drip lines were installed to deliver efficient, targeted watering that meets SNWA Water Smart Landscapes Program standards.

The entire layout was designed to thrive in Las Vegas’s extreme temperatures while keeping water use to a minimum. From the placement of pavers to the turf border shaping, every detail was crafted to enhance functionality, curb appeal, and sustainability.

The use of artificial turf, decorative rock, and drip irrigation significantly cuts down on upkeep, while the upgraded irrigation system supports water-efficient use for any live plants included in the landscape. This yard is not just rebate qualified it’s future ready and fully approved under Nevada Water Authority SNWA standards. The upgraded irrigation system, featuring drip irrigation, reduces waste and keeps the conversion area compliant with Nevada Water Authority SNWA rebate rules. Failure to maintain this standard or submit a grant of conservation easement correctly may result in approval will make your conversion ineligible status. Our team ensures all documentation is handled properly from start to finish.

By participating in the SNWA Water Smart Landscapes Rebate Program, the homeowner earned a rebate for removing grass and replacing it with desert landscaping. Our team helped guide the property owner through every step of the process, including:

• Pre-approval and paperwork under SNWA guidelines

• Design planning to meet water smart landscapes program requirements

• Turf removal and landscape conversion base preparation

• Installation of qualified materials under Clark County compliance

• Final inspection and documentation ensuring approval will not make your conversion ineligible

We also handled all grant of conservation easement requirements to ensure the conversion remained eligible for full rebate approval. Proper documentation and compliance are critical, especially for single family properties and businesses HOAs, and our team ensures nothing is missed.

From the rich red rock accents to the clean, modern pavers and low-maintenance turf, this project is a perfect example of what’s possible through water smart landscaping. It’s more than a rebate win it’s a sustainable landscape conversion that reduces costs and enhances property value.
