CAMARILLO, Calif.—More southern Californians are ripping up the grass in their lawns to plant drought-resistant plants, or to keep that green lush look, installing fake grass.
Another alternative to watering that has been gaining popularity is lawn painting.
Kerri McCoy started Lawn Paint Pros a few years ago as a second business. She says the business has taken off in the last few months, and she recently had to hire two more employees.
Lawn Paint Pros charges $275 for an average 1,000-ft front lawn, and the price per square foot goes down the larger the lawn.
In addition to saving her clients money on water bills, McCoy helps her clients get rebates for saving water. She’s working with local water districts, which provide incentives for homeowners and businesses that have found a creative way to preserve water. Lawn painting falls under that category.
