What is commercial turf conversion?

Commercial turf conversion replaces existing grass—typically ornamental or underused lawn—with water-efficient landscaping such as native and drought-tolerant plants, drip irrigation, mulch and decorative rock.

Can you remove turf from an HOA or apartment community?

Yes. Forever Green Cali can provide complete landscape conversion for HOA common areas, apartment communities and other managed properties.

Do we need to remove all of our grass?

No. Conversion can target ornamental or high-maintenance lawn areas while preserving functional turf where it makes sense for the property.

Can existing sprinklers be converted to drip irrigation?

In many cases, existing irrigation infrastructure can be modified as part of the project. We evaluate the existing system and recommend the appropriate approach for the new landscape.

What does a complete turf conversion include?

Depending on the property, a project may include turf removal, grading, soil preparation, irrigation modifications, drip irrigation, low-water plants, decorative rock or mulch and complete installation.

Commercial Turf-Replacement Rebates May Help Offset Project Costs

Water providers throughout Northern California periodically offer incentives for replacing irrigated grass with qualifying water-efficient landscaping. Requirements, funding and rebate amounts vary by water provider and can change over time.

Forever Green Cali can help identify available programs and coordinate the landscape design and documentation around applicable requirements. Because many programs require approval before turf is removed, contact us before beginning your conversion.

Commercial Turf Conversion FAQs

Programs vary by location and water provider. When incentives are available, Forever Green Cali can help identify applicable requirements. Some programs require approval before any grass is removed, so property owners should investigate eligibility before construction begins. The City of Sacramento's current program, for example, expressly requires participation and approval around its conversion process.
