Water Savings

Estimate the water your lawn uses

Enter your lawn size to see how much water a grass lawn that size typically uses in a year.

22,000–50,000gallons of water a grass lawn this size typically uses per year

Estimates use 22–50 gallons per square foot per year for a grass lawn in the Phoenix area. The low end reflects an efficiently watered bermudagrass lawn (University of Arizona AZMET — Phoenix Lawn Watering Guide: a 15'×15' lawn uses over 5,000 gallons a year); the high end reflects the average savings Scottsdale reports from grass removal (about 50 gallons per square foot). Your actual use depends on grass type, shade, and how you water. Water rates vary by provider, so use the rate on your own bill (City of Buckeye rates). This tool doesn't show install prices. Sources: University of Arizona AZMET — Phoenix Lawn Watering Guide; City of Scottsdale — water conservation rebates.

How the estimate works

The calculator multiplies your lawn size by a range of 22 to 50 gallons per square foot per year. That range comes from two public sources: the University of Arizona's AZMET lawn watering guide for Phoenix, which says a 15-by-15-foot bermudagrass lawn uses over 5,000 gallons a year, and the City of Scottsdale, which reports grass removal saves an average of about 50 gallons per square foot.

If you enter your water rate per 1,000 gallons, it also estimates what that water costs you each year. Rates vary by provider and change over time, so use the number from your own water bill.

A note on rebates

Some Valley cities pay rebates for removing grass, but many exclude artificial turf. Chandler's program, for example, doesn't count areas converted to artificial turf. Check your own provider's rules before counting on a rebate.

What the calculator doesn't include

It only estimates the water a grass lawn uses. It doesn't include mowing, fertilizer, weed control, or reseeding, and it doesn't show install prices. For an exact install quote, book a free on-site estimate.
