1 Xeriscape Rebate Program Manual
2 Program Purpose & Goals Introducing the community to xeriscape Create attractive, lower-maintenance yards that will save water and withstand drought Incentivize the conversion of turf to xeriscape Help customers achieve their conservation goals
3 Program Options Commercial Z-zone program max: $15,000 Regular program max: $10,000 Residential Z-zone program max: $4,500 Regular program max: $3,000
4 Program Specifics The rebate will cover ALL material costs up to the maximum limit depending on which program you chose to participate in. Z-zone Use only z-zone plants plants that require no supplemental water after establishment (see list) A water budget will be provided as a guide
5 Program Specifics Z-zone (cont.) Payment schedule 50% of material costs paid upon completion of the project Year 1-10% at the end of the following year* Year 2-10% at the end of the following year* Year 3-10% at the end of the following year* Year 4-20% after the first year of no watering in the project area* If a decrease in consumption is not achieved for a particular year, the rebate for that year will be forfeited This does not affect the rebate for subsequent years * Upon proof of decrease in consumption

7 Program Specifics How are the rebates calculated? Rebates will be calculated based on submission of receipts for material costs related to the project Only material costs will be considered Receipts need to be itemized
8 Overview of Steps 1. Apply online Eligibility determined by Aurora Water staff 2. Submit paperwork Wait for project approval 3. Obtain necessary approvals and permits 4. Begin installation 5. First inspection 6. Finish installation 7. Final inspection
9 Getting Started Apply online Go to Conservation Rebates Xeriscape Rebate Program You ll receive an confirming successful submission and a link to your application. From: DoNotReply@apps2auroragov.org Subject: Aurora Water Xeriscape Rebate Application Submitted Do not delete this Do not reply to this Wait for notification of property eligibility before submitting any paperwork or starting the project.
10 Eligibility Areas Lawn in residential front and side yards and streetscape Lawn in areas of commercial or large properties that are visible to the public* Lawn needs to be healthy with few to no weeds Water bill needs to show sufficient usage during summer months this typically guarantees healthy plant material * Potential areas will be addressed on a case-by-case basis
11 How Eligibility is Determined Sufficient outdoor usage is determined by comparing actual use to expected use First, indoor usage needs to be determined This is accomplished using Winter Quarter Average (WQA). WQA is determined by averaging water usage during the months of December, January and February when there should be zero outdoor usage WQA is subtracted from each month s usage to determine actual outdoor use
12 How Eligibility is Determined (cont.) Expected outdoor usage = sum of the gallons of water needed to maintain each plant type on the property Grass = 17.4 gallons per square foot Shrubs and perennials = 5.8 gallons per square foot Xeriscape = 1.8 gallons per square foot Plant material for each property is evaluated and measured The area for each plant type is totaled and multiplied by its respective gallons per square foot
13 How Eligibility is Determined (cont.) Gallons for all areas are added together and compared to actual usage The property is eligible if actual usage is 80% or more of expected usage for a majority of the years queried
14 Getting Started If property is eligible Submit documentation using the link provided to you in the confirmation you received upon filling out the application Valid form of I.D.

37 Plan Implementation Irrigation Several options Hand water Existing spray system Drip (new or retrofit existing system) Order of potential efficiency 1. Drip 2. Hand water 3. Existing spray system
38 Plan Implementation Irrigation (cont.) Irrigation method Efficiency Cost Ease of install Hand watered Moderate - high Very low N/A Existing spray system Low Low - moderate N/A Drip retrofit Very high Moderate Moderately difficult Drip new system Very high Moderately - expensive Difficult
39 Plan Implementation Irrigation (cont.) An irrigation permit must be obtained for major changes to existing layout Water supply must be protected by a backflow prevention device. Permit must be obtained through the Permit Center ( ) for installation and inspection if one is not present
40 Plan Implementation Irrigation (cont.) Automatic irrigation systems require installation of a rain gauge Secure drip lines to soil Cover drip lines with mulch Consider use of low-flow valves
41 Plan Implementation Planting Procedure Step #1 Properly place plant material. Step #2 Dig a hole twice as wide as the plant container and about the depth of the root ball, setting soil aside. The hole should be bowl shaped. Do not use excavated soil to build berms elsewhere in the yard.
42 Plan Implementation Planting Procedure (cont.) It is important to follow the landscape plan, however in most cases it is not necessary to concern yourself with being exact to the inch. Placement
43 Plan Implementation Planting Procedure (cont.) For all plant types except trees, dig to the depth of the root ball. The hole for trees should be dug a few inches shy of the height of the root ball. Dig
44 Plan Implementation Planting Procedure (cont.)
45 Plan Implementation Planting Procedure (cont.) Step #3 Mix the recommended quantity of approved compost into the excavated soil. Composts approved for use are Class I and II. Anything else must receive prior approval.
46 Plan Implementation Planting Procedure (cont.) Add approved compost to soil
47 Plan Implementation Planting Procedure (cont.) Step #4 Remove plant from container. Perennials and ornamental grasses If the plant is root bound, make 3-4 vertical cuts in the root ball. Cut off any thick mass of roots at the bottom of the root ball. Cuts should be made with a clean and sharp knife. This does not apply to trees. Shrubs If the plant is root bound, cuts may be made in the root ball but only to the fibrous roots. Do not cut the larger roots, ¼ or greater.
48 Plan Implementation Planting Procedure (cont.) Score root ball
49 Plan Implementation Planting Procedure (cont.) Step #5 Place plant in center of hole making sure that it is not too deeply planted. Backfill in layers using the soil-compost mix, firming soil around root mass with fingers after each layer. There should only be a small quantity of left over soil. Consider building a small ring around the planting area with any remaining soil.
50 Plan Implementation Planting Procedure (cont.) Plant
51 Plan Implementation Planting Procedure (cont.) Step #6 Water deeply and thoroughly, making sure to saturate soil surrounding plant. For complete details on proper planting technique, take the Water Conservation class, Xeriscape Start to Finish
52 Plan Implementation Planting Procedure (cont.) Water
53 Plan Implementation Edging Will effectively keep grass out of beds Should be at least 4 in height Leave no more than ½ out of the soil May be used to separate mulch types Should not be placed on top of the soil Should not be easily visible
54 First Inspection The first inspection provides an opportunity for questions to be asked and resolution to take place prior to finishing the project. Call or Zach to schedule a first inspection zverslui@auroragov.org
55 First Inspection The following will be reviewed: Plant type and size according to plant list Plant holes dug double wide Use of class I or class II compost or other approved amendment. No manure. Irrigation system installed according to permit Installation of backflow and rain sensor Site free of weeds and hazards
56 First Inspection Receipts: Need to show the cost of materials separate from labor, delivery, fuel surcharges and tax Hardscape feature and amendment Submit at or prior to first inspection
57 Plan Implementation Mulching Apply mulch once the first inspection has been completed and you have been given the go ahead to continue Mulch must be at least 3 deep Choices of mulch are organic (bark, wood) and inorganic (cobble, rock) At least two mulch types are required to add to the visual interest
58 Plan Implementation Mulching (cont.) In front and side yards: there is no limit to the use of organic mulches, however rock mulch may only cover 50% of the area; the remaining 50% would need to be covered by an organic mulch Pea gravel may be used, but not next to pedestrian access points (sidewalks, streets, etc.)
59 Plan Implementation Mulching (cont.) Be creative with colors and textures, but sensitive to neighborhood aesthetics Red mulch, lava rock and recycled mulch products such as ground rubber or crushed concrete may not be used Edging of any sort may not be used to keep mulch off concrete, instead excavate soil as shown on the following slide to provide a place for the mulch to rest
60 Plan Implementation Mulching (cont.) Edging of any sort may not be used to keep mulch off concrete, instead excavate soil as shown on the following slide to provide a place for the mulch to rest. Beds must be separated from turf areas using edging. Edging must be at least 3 inches in the ground. Fabric is optional, though we do not recommend its use around plant material because of the unnatural barrier that is created between the mulch and the soil.
61 Plan Implementation Mulching A few options Golden Small Chip Shredded Bark Dark Medium Chip 3 River Rock
62 Plan Implementation Mulch preparation In many cases, if mulch is placed directly on top of the exist grade, it will continually be falling onto the sidewalk.
63 Plan Implementation Mulching preparation (cont.) To help remedy this issue remove a section of soil next to any concrete surface area. We recommend 3-4 below the level of the concrete and back Do not dig to or below the bottom of the concrete.
64 Plan Implementation Mulching preparation (cont.) This is not adequate. Not only is there increased likelihood that mulch will still fall onto the sidewalk, but the degree of slope is visually noticeable.
65 Plan Implementation Mulching preparation This shows how the site will look when mulch is put down. The first inspection needs to take place prior to the installation of mulch.
66 Plan Implementation Mulching technique (cont.)
67 Plan Implementation Mulching technique (cont.)
68 Final Inspection Submit remaining receipts prior to final inspection Call Zach when the project is complete Zach looks for the following: 3 inches of mulch Fabric (if used) securely pinned, tucked and covered with mulch Irrigation lines pinned and covered with mulch Minimal edging showing Site free of weeds A completed project Appointment not needed for final inspection
69 Challenges Most common challenges encountered by participants: #4 - Digging is hard work! #3 - Don t know who to contact. You have one contact: Zach Versluis Please do not call other conservation staff with questions regarding your project Messages returned within 24 hours. Schedule: Tues Fri, 8am - 630pm
70 Challenges #2 - Can t find a plant. Don t worry, substitutions are allowed! Find one that has a similar mature size and water use characteristics. Inform Zach of change.
