I just ripped out about 4k sq ft of grass and installed roughly 1500 sq ft of fake turf. I went with a product from Purchase Green, which was normally 3.89 a sq ft but was on sale last month for 2.89 a sq ft. With the 2 dollar per sq ft replacement, it was a no brainer. I also put in pavers, drought tolerant trees and plants and a pool but decided to use my paver guys to do the grass as they claimed it was their in the wheelhouse. They screwed it up so I ended up hiring a guy named Tony from Purchase Green who repaired it and was very reasonable ( would definitely recommend).
A couple thoughts on the grass: Dont go cheap on the material or labor. Try to keep the seams as minimal as possible.
A couple thoughts on the rebate: You must first get your project approved before starting which includes photos of existing landscape. You then need to knock out the project and go back online and submit receipts, photos of completion etc and then it takes roughly 8 -12 weeks to get your rebate so be prepared for this.
