Frequently Asked Questions snwa grass rebate
Please reach us at info@welandscapevegas.com or 702-348-8399 if you cannot find an answer to your question.
Elements that affect pricing include:
1. How many square feet of grass needs to get removed?
2. How many tons of rock need to be installed. The thicker the layer of rock the more expensive it is. When comparing proposals / bids check if they specify the amount of rock. Some offer just enough rock to cover the dirt while others include more. We think that a thicker layer of rock helps with weed control and a reduction of grass roots regrowing.
3. The cost to install an irrigation system. if one is installed.
4. How many plants get installed and what size pots they come in. Keep in mind that some plants may require more reoccurring maintenance than others. Sometimes installing more plants that require less maintenance is the lower cost option in the long run.
5. If a weed barrier is installed or not.
6. If other items are done while the conversion is done. Some people choose to add rock or plants to existing rock areas when conversions are done.
7. Every property owner has different requirements for their budget and what they want installed. Knowing budgets allows us to customize line items in our proposals. Things like, how many and what size plants get installed. If a very thin layer of rock get installed or a thicker one.
100% of the conversions we have done that applied for the SNWA grass rebate program have been approved. A truck, equipment and a business license ae typically not enough to do grass conversions due to Nevada laws. We became a properly licensed landscape contractor in 2008.

We understand that some customers need more guidance to know they are making the right choice in choosing us for their landscaping work. When reading reviews that customers have left about us keep in mind that each job and property owner is different. Regardless of property type, you will see a lot of positive words left by customers on Google and Yelp.
The short answer is no. Nevada has laws about how much or how little a C10 landscaper can install when it comes to pavers (under 400 square feet) and we are not allowed to install concrete at all with that license so we choose not to install either?
No. There is a wide range of colors, lengths and quality of synthetic grass. What they all have in common is the need to have the area prepared properly and then the synthetic grass installed properly. There are companies that focus on synthetic grass that have a wide range of reviews on the internet. Some animals will go on it and others will not. Being that it is a manufactured product that does not get watered it can get hot regardless of what the manufacturer or sales person says. Remember, Vegas is in a desert.
No. Nevada requires a special contractors license to install patio covers and we do not have that license.
At the end of the day everyone has different opinions on what they like or dislike and the level of maintenance they want in their new landscaping. Some people want low maintenance while others do not mind having plants that get hedge trimmed. Some want to keep the cost of their conversion costs as low as possible and are not concerned about the aesthetics of their new landscaping. If you talk to three landscapers you will most likely get different ideas on what to install. We think it makes the process easier if property owners at least have an idea of what they want in / out of their new landscaping. This may include taking a look at plant nurseries and sharing which plants they like with the landscapers they meet with. I hate making a comparison to car dealerships but I will. I've been asked what color cars a I like and what my budget is. These are qualifying questions. The same idea applies to plants and rock. If you want some ideas on where to start, click here.
