Case Study: DOW Industrial Park Spends Only $15K for $105K Turf Renovation Project Using Rebates
California’s AB 1572 is about to get very real. Starting January 1, 2028, it will be illegal to irrigate nonfunctional turf with potable water. That means decorative grass — turf that’s purely for looks and not for recreation — will have to go.
The good news? Metropolitan Water District of Orange County (MWDOC) is currently offering huge rebates for turf removal and irrigation upgrades. But these rebates won’t last forever — and once the funding is gone, it’s gone.
The DOW Industrial Park Success Story
When the management company for DOW Industrial Park decided to get ahead of the curve, they took advantage of these rebates in a big way. The property had 18,000 square feet of nonfunctional turf, an outdated spray irrigation system, and landscaping that guzzled water year-round.
They partnered with us for a complete turf renovation project — a transformation that included:
18,000 sq. ft. of turf removal
Irrigation retrofit: spray to water-efficient drip system
Planting three species of drought-tolerant plants for beauty and low maintenance
Installation of a dry river bed — a sustainable, eye-catching design feature that doubles as stormwater management
The Numbers Speak for Themselves
Total Project Cost: $105,000
MWDOC Rebates Received: $90,000+
Final Out-of-Pocket Cost: Only $15,000
That’s right — they got a six-figure landscape transformation for a fraction of the price.
We love how it turned out. And so did our customer.
“Working with W Brothers on this turf renovation was a breeze! Not only did it turn out beautiful, they handled all the rebates and made this process seamless..”
- Danielle C., Senior Property Manager
Why Act Now
With AB 1572 looming and rebate funds limited, the time to act is now. Waiting means risking two things:
Losing your rebate funding — once it’s gone, it’s gone.
Facing compliance costs without financial help in the years ahead.
Don’t let your property be stuck paying full price for a change you’ll be required to make anyway.
