Parkway Beautification Program

Let's enhance your curbside landscape and help the environment at the same time!

Parkway Beautification Program

This FREE program provides all the resources to transform your parkway into a beautiful climate-friendly landscape.

Parkways (the area between the sidewalk and street) are among the first things people see outside your home, but standard grass can also create wasteful water runoff. We have the solution. West Basin welcomes you to our new Parkway Beautification program that replaces your existing grass with nature's most effective way to conserve water -- California native plants.

From the start of the project to the final product, we provide all the materials and labor at no cost to you. Just choose your design and let us do the heavy lifting.

We'll convert your parkway from this ...

Before

To this!

After

These sustainable landscapes are more efficient at absorbing water to avoid excess runoff.

If you live in the eligible service areas, apply for the program and help inspire your communities to consider grass removal at their properties.

How It Works

Step 1: Apply!
Apply to participate in West Basin's Parkway Beautification Program. Your parkway must already have existing turf (grass) and an irrigation system installed to qualify for the program.

Step 2: Pre-Inspection
West Basin's landscape contractor, EcoTech Services, Inc., will contact you and schedule a pre-inspection of your curbside with you to gather dimensions and verify that there is existing turf in the area. If everything checks out, EcoTech services will provide you with several program-approved landscape design templates to choose from and work with you to finalize your parkway design.

Step 3: Turf Removal
When your application is approved, EcoTech will schedule a date to begin killing the grass (organically) in order to remove it. Construction will be scheduled one to two weeks after the turf has been spayed.

Step 4: Construction
Once the grass has been killed, EcoTech will remove the grass and begin construction of the new parkway landscape.

Step 5: Sign off
After construction has been completed, you will sign off on your project. You also will be given some maintenance education that includes a flyer/pamphlet that covers proper maintenance for the plant types.

Step 6: Follow-up
After 30 days, EcoTech will schedule a follow-up visit to inspect the irrigation system and plants to make sure everything is working properly.

Step 7: Hands-on Workshop
At the end of the program, you will be invited to a free hands-on workshop. EcoTech will schedule this workshop at a completed curbside and show you how to maintain your irrigation system and plants. You can also practice fixing drip tubing issues and learn how to prune your plants in order to maintain a beautiful landscape year-round.
