BEYOND LAWN

BEYOND LAWN IS CURRENTLY A GRANT FUNDED PILOT PROJECT WITH LIMITED CAPACITY. 

ECCD is pursing a small mill levy, which would enable ECCD to expand the Beyond Lawn Program for all Eagle County landowners.

The Math:

• Each square foot of irrigated turf requires 14 gallons of water per irrigation season.
• That’s 35,000 gallons for an average 2,500 square foot lawn.
• When watered and maintained effectively, replacing turf with sustainable landscaping can potentially reduce your outdoor water use by 50-60%
• Less water, lower bills

Landscape & Irrigation Evaluations:

•  Providing consultation, resources & guidance towards sustainable landscaping
• Providing you the best return of investment

Rebates:

• Upgrading inefficient irrigation systems
• Turf removal

Education & Outreach:

This program empowers our community to take action as it relates to water efficiency. Look for educational events such as rain barrel workshops, DIY guides, demonstration gardens and more.  
 

Western water is increasingly in the news, as the aridity of the West and ever-changing climate reduces the amount of water flowing in our streams. Therefore, conservation programs and action are critical to protect our water supplies and offset increasing costs.
