The good news? Artificial turf is allowed under the program!
Each city has its own standards and requirements for landscaping, including for artificial grass. It’s essential to be aware of these before installing anything, even if it’s allowed under the incentive program.
The program encourages Utah residents to reduce their water usage by replacing thirsty, natural grass lawns, and replacing standard sprinklers with drip systems.
