Drought or not, it is critical we all use less water in the landscape so thank you for taking this step! How-to videos are available at www.slc.gov/utilities/conservation/slcturftrade. Everything you need to know to be successful in short, straight forward videos!

Provo is proud to offer the Provo Turf Trade for residential lawns. Trading conventional residential turf lawns for TWCA Qualified turf reduces water demand by up to 40%.

The program is simple:

Trade up. Pre-order your TWCA Qualified Drought Tolerant turf seed here. (You will receive a follow-up email guiding you through your pick up process)

Dry out. Install the TWCA qualified seed; either by fully replacing, or by overseeding into the existing lawn.

Stay green. Drought tolerant landscapes begin with the plants used. Combining Water Efficient management and water efficient plants can reduce the water demand of landscapes by up to 40%.

This public-private partnership is designed to conserve water and preserve the functional beauty and natural brilliance of living turfgrass. By participating in this project, you are making a positive change in your community and, by showing what is possible, you are affecting that change in communities around the world.

The Center for Water Efficient Landscaping (CWEL) and Salt Lake City Department of Public Utilities (SLCDPU) created helpful and informative videos to help citizens be successful in their turf trade. Finally, to ensure landscapes are being watered effectively, participants can use the TWCA Irrigation Calculator to find their ideal runtime!

Donating to TWCA allows the program to continue evaluating and identifying the most drought tolerant turfgrasses of each species. Without donor support TWCA could not quantify the water use of turfgrasses in the managed environment and qualify them through our rigorous process.

If PROVO Turf Trade is sold out, TWCA Qualified drought tolerant turfgrass is still available from TWCA members in Utah. All TWCA Qualified drought tolerant turfgrasses provide benefits to the environment, no matter where you get it!
