As millions of Southern Californians face unprecedented water restrictions beginning next month, we’re looking for homeowners who have torn out their lawns and replaced turf with drought-tolerant plants.

What we want to know:
- Why did you tear out your lawn?
- How did you go about the process: Did you try sheet mulching or consult a landscape designer?
- How did you pay for it?
- Did you receive a turf removal rebate?
