AB 1572 Compliance Services
California’s water regulations are changing, and property managers are expected to plan ahead. AB 1572 requires many commercial, HOA, municipal, and institutional properties to stop irrigating non-functional turf with potable water over the next several years.
Landesign helps property owners navigate these requirements with practical, phased solutions that improve water efficiency while maintaining the professional appearance of your landscape.
Whether you’re just beginning to understand the legislation or you’re ready to start a turf conversion project, our team can guide you through every step.
AB 1572 is California legislation that restricts the use of potable water for irrigating non-functional turf, grass that serves no recreational or public gathering purpose. Decorative turf found along streets, parking lots, medians, and other unused landscape areas may need to be converted to comply with state requirements.
The law applies to many:
- Commercial properties
- Homeowners Associations
- Municipal properties
- Institutional campuses
- Industrial facilities
- Senior living communities
The legislation does not apply to parks, golf courses, cemeteries, single-family residential landscapes, or turf irrigated entirely with recycled water.
