Frisco offers WaterWise rebates and landscape conversion incentives encouraging residents to replace high-water turf with native and adapted plants, drip irrigation, and approved turf alternatives.
Through Frisco Water Conservation and NTMWD partnerships, the City periodically funds rebates for irrigation system upgrades, smart controllers, and conversion of grass to drought-tolerant landscaping. Frisco does not mandate turf removal but encourages it as part of its water-management plan to address rapid population growth. Front-yard conversions must still meet zoning landscape standards: minimum living groundcover, no bare soil, and HOA architectural review where applicable. Hardscape ratios are capped to preserve neighborhood character. Rebate funding is limited; applications open seasonally.
Non-compliant conversions, such as gravel-only yards or removing required street trees, can trigger code-enforcement notices and reinstallation orders.
