Adding a tree to your landscape design adds a beautiful focal point to your yard. It also satisfies the sustainability feature required to receive a rebate for the Turf Replacement Program. For a tree to qualify, it must be expected to reach at least 15 feet in height with a canopy at least 10 feet wide. For more information, go to IRWD.com/turfrebate , where you can also find information on the tree rebate and more.

They provide shade and cool the living spaces in your yard. They also capture and redirect rainwater to reduce runoff, improve air and water quality and support local biodiversity. If you’re thinking about redoing your landscape and using IRWD’s Turf Replacement Program to help pay for it, consider also applying for a rebate on trees—up to $100 per tree, and up to five trees per year!
