Separately, some Southern California cities are restricting or banning artificial turf due to environmental and health concerns.
Los Angeles: As of July 2024, the Los Angeles City Council has approved a motion to study the feasibility of banning new artificial turf installations.
West Hollywood: The potential Los Angeles County ban is also being considered for discussion by the West Hollywood City Council.
Glendale: The city's Turf Replacement Program explicitly states that synthetic turf is not an approved option for turf conversion.
Concerns over artificial turf
Recent restrictions on artificial turf stem from new concerns, including:
"Forever chemicals" (PFAS): The US Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) classified these substances as hazardous in April 2024, and they have been detected in artificial turf.
Microplastics: Shedding from artificial turf can pollute waterways.
Urban heat island effect: Artificial turf can significantly increase surface temperatures.
Water use: Artificial turf may still require water for cleaning and cooling.
Alternative landscaping options
For those looking to replace turf, water-efficient options offer significant benefits:
California native plants: These provide habitat for pollinators and thrive in the local climate.
Drought-tolerant plants: Require less water and can be used to create beautiful, sustainable landscapes. Warm-season grasses: Varieties like Bermuda grass and Buffalo grass are more suited to a dry climate.

Our 4 Step Process
1 - Landscape Consultation
Once you schedule your consultation with our landscape designer and consultant, we will meet with you at your home or property to talk about your ideal retreat and collaborate in bringing to ideas to life. You will get professional advice from an award winning landscape designer.
If we decide to collaborate together on the design part, we will conduct a Landscape Assessment, which will include comprehensive property draft plan. We gather essential data, such as measurements, elevations, drainage considerations, proximity to property lines, gas lines, setbacks, and more.
This information is used to create a digital draft base plan, which includes a two-dimensional printout of the property with all measurements.
2 - Landscape Design
Following the landscape consultation and digital draft base plan, we will utilize the gathered information and your specified budget to proceed with developing a complete concept, preliminary 2D and 3D renderings of your landscape, incorporating new landscape features.
After we finish your first landscape design draft, we will meet with you to go over it and see if you have any revisions before we create the final plans. Once the layout, materials, and planting choices are confirmed within your budget, we create a comprehensive, highly accurate 2D and 3D renderings of the final design.
Once the final design approved, we will move forward with getting 3 estimates from our partner contractors. We will present to you the installation proposal and agreement. Once approved, we will move forward with the installation.
3 - Application for Water Rebate
Earth1 will Check Eligibility Water Rebate Application (LA & OC)
Rebates are offered through SoCal Water$mart and participating water agencies (LADWP, OCWD, MWDOC, etc.).
Earth1 will see what rebates are available (e.g., turf removal, irrigation controllers, high-efficiency toilets, washers).
Make sure you are a residential, HOA, or commercial customer of a participating water district.
Review Program Rules
Each rebate program has its own requirements (for example, turf removal requires pre-approval before you start work).
Common rules:

Rebates are first-come, first-served and based on available funding.
Only certain EPA WaterSense or EnergyStar-certified products qualify.

4 - Apply Online (Pre-Approval if Required)

CLIENT TESTIMONIALS
What our Clients Said
Jason K.
The landscape design was thoughtful and very beautiful. The workers are respectful and the project was completed very quickly. At my request, he even built a beautiful rock fountain to highlight the yard.
Teri E.
So fantastic in every way. By my own admission, haha, I am not easy to work with, expect a lot and have lofty ideas. this company exceeded my goals!! Price was fair, workers were on time, extras like flag poles and electrical work were never a problem to get somebody to do the job. We have lived in a fixer-upper for three years and this is probably the best company that we have worked with. Nothing is out of the question and this team will come up with things you didn't even think of while satying on top of pricing and quoting. It was the first time I've used this company but it will not be the last I can't wait for them to remodel my backyard!! Earth1, for everything outside!!
Craig V.
Hired Earth1 to do my landscape design and very pleased with the results. Their team went above and beyond expectation and would highly recommend their services.
Frequently Asked Questions
How long is the design process and how many revisions do I get?
The design process varies approximately from 2 weeks to a month depending on how big is your project and whether any HOA regulations are involved. If you like to choose hardscape materials and pots at supplier stores that we recommend to you, you need to commit to taking time to shop around the first week of the design process. After we present the 2D and 3D renderings and if any revisions are needed, we can do 1 full set of revisions for you as long as you provide us the full list of all revisions that we need to make before we present the final 2D and 3D renderings. This revision can take approximately another week to 2 weeks.
Can you help us with the rebate process, application & requirements?
Yes we can process all requirements at an additional cost
How long does it take for you to put the numbers together for landscape design?
Depending on the size of your project, the quotes can take approximately from 2 to 7 days.
