What Scottsdale's front yard rule says

In July 2023 the Scottsdale City Council unanimously approved an ordinance that bans natural grass from the front yards of new single-family homes built or permitted after August 15, 2023.

Two things people get wrong about it. First, it applies to new homes, not existing ones. Nobody is coming to make you tear out the lawn you already have. Second, it covers front yards on new builds, not your whole property.

Building new in Scottsdale and want a green front yard? Talk to us and your builder early, before the landscape plan and allowance are set. It is far easier to plan turf into a build than to redo a front yard afterward.

Why Scottsdale homeowners make the switch

The water bill is usually where it starts. Turf eliminates routine lawn irrigation, and in a Scottsdale summer that adds up fast. For the full math on what a grass lawn costs to keep alive here, read The Real Numbers Behind Your Lawn Upgrade.

The other reason is time. No mowing, no fertilizer, no overseeding, and no patching the same dead spots every August. Turf does need a little care: a rinse now and then, a brush on high traffic areas, and regular cleanup in pet areas. It is far less work than keeping real grass alive in this climate.

And yes, turf gets hot in direct summer sun. Shade, cooling infill options, lighter fiber choices and a quick rinse with the hose all help, and we will walk your yard and show you where sun exposure matters.

Scottsdale water rebates

A rebate is a nice bonus, but the real savings with turf is never paying to water grass again. Scottsdale Water offers grass removal rebates, and program windows open and close during the year. Every removal rebate requires a pre-inspection and a Notice to Proceed before any grass comes out. Some programs can work alongside a turf project when part of the yard goes to desert landscaping and turf goes where you want usable green space. Check current status on the Scottsdale Water rebates page before demo day, and we will help you plan the layout.
