As the drought drags on, there is surging demand in Santa Clara County for rebates that pay you back for removing a water-thirsty lawn.
"I have so much more appreciation for the California native plants now," said Julie Garrett, who re-landscaped her front yard in San Jose.
"It's very drought resistant. We only water it once every two weeks in the summer and not at all the rest of the year," Garrett said. Last year, the water district boosted the rebate from $1 per square foot of new drought-tolerant landscaping, to $2. The district also increased the cap to $3,000 dollars."We've had a lot of participation. It's increased over 200% in this last year alone," said Metra Richert, district manager of water supply and conservation.
He and his family designed their own front landscaping, joining most of their neighbors who have done the same.
