Yolo-Solano Air Quality Management District’s new Commercial Lawn and Garden Program provides commercial landscaping Applicants within Yolo County, Placer County, or eastern Solano County with vouchers to reduce the cost of replacing existing gas- or diesel-powered lawn and garden equipment with battery-operated zero-emission lawn and garden equipment.

The District is currently accepting applications for the program. No funding is currently available for projects located within the Yolo-Solano Air Quality Management District. However, applications for projects located within the Yolo-Solano Air Quality Management District are still being accepted and will be prioritized in the order that they are received if additional funds become available.
