Rainscaping Cost-Share Program : What You Need to Know

Each year, the Deer Creek Watershed Alliance welcomes eligible St. Louis-area property owners to apply to receive a rebate of 75% of documented and approved costs (up to a maximum of $4,500) for a rainscaping project design, implementation, and/or maintenance costs for rainscaping! This is great news for landowners who are looking to add sustainable features to their outdoor living spaces, such as rain gardens, bioswales, trees and shrubs or permeable pavers that work to soak up and reuse rainwater before it carries pollutants to a local stream.

Landowners with property located in the Deer Creek Watershed are eligible to receive a rebate for residential, institutional, and commercial landscaping projects featuring sustainable elements. First, we recommend viewing the Deer Creek Watershed Map online, to see if you qualify to participate. View the map here.

Then, if you would like to participate you are required to attend one orientation event for landowners to learn important details about the Rainscaping Cost-Share Program if you would like to apply. Orientation details for the two available dates for 2018, Round G are below:
