Eco Scapes.Eco Scapes cares for Benicia lawns, irrigation and landscape lighting in a town whose water has twice been cut by 40% in two and a half years. So we build yards that can take the next cut: trees, beds and lawn on their own valves, run by a smart controller.
From the city’s own pages and the county water agency’s. We plan schedules and lawn swaps against them.
No watering hours are posted today.
The 2023 and 2025 pipeline breaks each brought a 40% cut, and both were lifted.
No hours posted. Benicia’s conservation page posts no stage or hours today. Confirm with Benicia Public Works before you set a schedule.
Up to $3,000 back for a lawn swap while the city’s match lasts.
The Solano County Water Agency (SCWA) runs these rebates at $1.50 a square foot, up to $1,500 for a home, and Benicia matches them while funds last. Approval comes first: nothing comes out before SCWA says go. A smart controller: half its cost, up to $300.

Register a WaterInsight account with the city to see when and where your household uses the most water.
A jump in your water use says water is going somewhere; finding it is the next job. For a lawn swap, you apply to SCWA, and we plan the beds and drip to its terms and start once your approval arrives.
The watering rules guide sets Benicia beside the towns that post hours.

Most of Benicia’s water arrives through one long pipeline, and breaks in 2023 and 2025 each brought a 40% cut. When trees share a valve with the lawn, cutting one cuts both.
So we build for the next one: trees, beds and lawn on separate Rain Bird valves, beds on drip, and a smart controller, so a cut is a change in an app.
Summers on the Carquinez Strait are cool, so a schedule borrowed from inland over-waters here. Much of town is hillside clay that sheds water, so runs go down in short cycles with a soak between.
Many systems here went in with houses from the 1970s and 1980s, long before anyone planned for a 40% cut. A system diagnostic tests every zone, then we rebuild what fails with Rain Bird anti-siphon valves, new wire and sealed connectors.
West along the strait, Vallejo shares Benicia’s cool bay summers on a different water supply. The rest of the county is on the Solano County page.
No hours posted; ask Public Works.
The city's conservation page posts no watering hours and no water-shortage stage, and its 2022 Stage 2 notice is gone. During the 2023 and 2025 pipeline breaks the city ordered 40% cuts. Benicia Public Works can confirm the current rules: (707) 746-4240.
SCWA lawn and controller rebates.
The Solano County Water Agency runs the rebates, and the city's conservation page says Benicia matches them while funds last. SCWA pays $1.50 a square foot to replace lawn, up to $1,500 a home, if approved before the lawn comes out; no overhead spray or artificial turf. It pays half a WaterSense weather-based controller's cost, up to $300. Check eligibility with SCWA first.
Give them their own valve.
On a separate valve, the lawn can take most of a cut, and established trees and shrubs need far less water than a lawn. If trees share a zone with the lawn, every minute you cut from the grass comes off the trees too.
