Big Cash Rebates Available for Sustainable Landscapes

Sustainable landscaping practices turn traditional methods on its head.  Gone are the big bills for water and gardeners, and the plants go in the ground right now, in wintertime, leaving springtime for the beach.  Right now you can get big cash for going sustainable - up to $5,000 rebates are available for Santa Monica property owners.  Rebate registration begins January 10, 2011.  The funds will not last.

Sustainable landscapes bring color, beauty and harmony to our neighborhoods and connect us to our local mountains and the beach.  They can provide a stress-free sanctuary for growing food, entertaining, or just hanging-out.
