Start with your water provider
Arvada doesn’t have just one water supplier. Most addresses are served by the City of Arvada, but some areas are served by North Table Mountain, Consolidated Mutual or Denver Water. Your provider sets your watering rules and decides which programs you can use, so it’s worth checking before you plan.
The city partners with Resource Central on water-saving programs: discounted Garden In A Box kits, lawn replacement, sprinkler checks and seminars. They focus on water-wise planting. Many homeowners combine them with turf: a lawn where you need one and water-wise beds around it.
Backyard lawns, dog runs and putting greens
Arvada has everything from older lots to newer subdivisions. Whatever the age of the home, the brief tends to be the same: a lawn the dog can’t dig up, somewhere the kids can play, or a putting green for the backyard. We’ll help you pick the right product for the use, not just the look.
If you’re in an HOA, Colorado’s SB23-178 means it can’t prohibit artificial turf in the backyard of a single-family detached home, though it can still set design guidelines.
Built for Front Range ground and weather
The Colorado Climate Center says most of Colorado’s severe storm damage hits the Front Range and eastern plains, with severe hail peaking around mid-June. The Colorado Geological Survey lists swelling clay soils and clay shales as a major problem across the metro. We put the work into the base and drainage so the surface stays flat and drains well.
