San Antonio & the Hill Country · Lawn to Meadow

Trade the lawn for a meadow.

A turf lawn is one species you mow and water all summer. A native Hill Country meadow is 30–80 that mostly tend themselves — less mowing, less water, more life. And SAWS helps pay for the switch.

One species → 30–80

Diversity is what survives a drought. A meadow keeps living when a monoculture lawn browns out — and it hums with pollinators while it does.

The city pays to switch

SAWS rebates cover lawn removal and qualifying natives. We design the conversion to collect the most and file the paperwork.
