Overview

What this service actually is.

A desert landscape — sometimes called xeriscape or water-smart landscaping — replaces thirsty turf and high-maintenance plantings with Mojave-adapted plants, strategic hardscape, and drip irrigation tuned to Las Vegas's actual climate. Done right, it looks designed, not abandoned, and usually pays for itself in reduced water and maintenance costs within a few years.

The biggest unlock is the Southern Nevada Water Authority (SNWA) Water Smart Landscapes rebate, which pays per qualifying square foot of grass converted — subject to a pre-application and SNWA approval. A rebate-fluent partner pulls the paperwork before removal (critical — remove first and you forfeit the rebate), installs to SNWA-qualifying spec, and documents for the final inspection.

Scope typically ranges from a 500 sq ft front-yard conversion to a full property re-landscape. Most Vegas homeowners recover the net cost (after rebate + water savings) within 4–7 years, and the yard looks finished from the day the install completes.

What's included

Every estimate covers this scope.

$4,000 – $15,000

Typical timeline: 2–6 weeks from design to completed install.
Range drivers: lot size, plant count and specimen size, and hardscape weight (boulders, dry creek beds, flagstone paths). Your partner quotes the actual number after the site visit — Mojave Match doesn't set or guarantee install pricing.

SNWA Rebate

The Water Smart Landscapes rebate, by the numbers.

The SNWA Water Smart Landscapes rebate pays $5 per qualifying square foot on the first 10,000 sq ft of grass converted to a SNWA-approved desert landscape. LVVWD residential customers receive an additional $2/sq ft — $7/sq ft combined. A pre-application is required before you remove the grass; if you remove first, you forfeit the rebate. A rebate-fluent partner handles the paperwork — the pre-application, the documented install, and the post-install inspection. See the full rebates guide →

Rebate amounts and program rules are set by SNWA and change periodically. Mojave Match is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or partnered with SNWA. Rebate approval is determined solely by SNWA.

What you get from a Mojave Match partner.

🛡

NSCB C-10 licensed

Every partner holds an active Nevada State Contractors Board C-10 license in good standing. License numbers appear on partner profile pages.

Nevada-based

All partners operate out of Clark County — Las Vegas, Henderson, or Summerlin — so they know the HOA, the caliche, and the install conditions.

Independent — we're not the contractor

Mojave Match is a marketing and referral service, not a landscape contractor. You pay the partner directly for any work.
