Total Project Time: 2 Days
Turning Lawn Into a Low-Water Desert Oasis
This Las Vegas property was transformed into a water smart, visually stunning outdoor space, thanks in part to the Southern Nevada Water Authority’s Water Smart Landscapes Rebate Program. Our team, led by Victor, removed the client’s existing grass and replaced it with a vibrant, low-maintenance desert design that will conserve water for years to come.


Project Overview: Swapping Costly Grass for Water Saving Turf
Sun Valley Landscaping partnered with the homeowner to bring this project to life under the SNWA rebate program. By removing water-thirsty turf and installing desert friendly materials, this property now qualifies for one of the valley’s most impactful conservation incentives. The finished result is not only eco-conscious, but beautifully custom.
Key Features:
Urban 6×9 Pavers in Mirage Color: These elegant pavers create a clean, structured look for walkways and sitting areas. The Mirage color adds warmth and depth, blending seamlessly with the desert surroundings.
Deluxe 80 Artificial Turf: This premium turf delivers a lush, natural appearance while eliminating the need for irrigation. It’s soft underfoot, safe for kids and pets, and stays green year-round without chemicals or mowing.
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.
New Irrigation Valves: Even in a low-water design, smart irrigation is key. We installed new valves to ensure efficient water flow to the remaining plants, with long-term reliability and zone control.
Designed With Las Vegas Living in Mind
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 and decorative rock significantly cuts down on upkeep, while the upgraded irrigation system supports efficient water use for any live plants included in the landscape. This yard is not just rebate qualified, it’s future ready.
SNWA Rebate Program Partnership
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
- Design planning to meet rebate requirements
- Turf removal and base prep
- Installation of qualified materials
- Final inspection and documentation
A Landscape That Saves Water and Turns Heads
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 desert friendly design. It’s more than a rebate win, it’s a lifestyle upgrade.

“Outstanding Work”
Victor and his team just finished my backyard landscaping and I couldn’t be happier! We had a retaining wall, pavers and turf put in. Victor was very communicative and punctual every day. We negotiated a fair price and the work they did was done very well and very quickly. They finished 2 days earlier than anticipated and even gave us some solar lights to polish everything off! During the process they offered great suggestions and were very knowledgeable and super friendly. Will definitely be using them for future work! I can’t say enough good things. So happy we chose Sun Valley LLC for this exciting project!
